- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
For the skewers
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces

- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving

- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)

If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes so they don't char on the grill.

Combine the tamari, honey, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5–6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil. Pour half the tare into a small bowl and set aside for basting; reserve the remaining half in the saucepan for serving.
