Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Skewers with Miso Ranch Recipe – Japanese Special

These Chicken Teriyaki Skewers are a bold example of Japanese fusion cuisine that turn the humble grilled chicken into something special. Marinated in a sweet-savory teriyaki glaze with soy, mirin, ginger, and garlic, the chicken gets charred flavor and juicy texture on the outside. Paired with a creamy, umami-rich umami dressing in the form of miso ranch, this dish balances smoky, sweet, and tangy notes. Whether for weekend BBQs, friends’ night, or a satisfying quick dinner, these skewers bring flavor and flair.
