Sainsbury's Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Kebabs
What it is
These are pre-marinated chicken thigh pieces threaded onto skewers, ready for cooking. The teriyaki marinade typically includes soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic, giving the chicken a sweet and savory flavor profile. The chicken thighs are chosen for their tenderness and ability to stay moist during cooking. The skewers make them easy to handle and cook evenly.

- Grilling
- Pan-frying
- Baking
- Broiling
To cook, you can place the kebabs on a preheated grill or under a broiler. For pan-frying, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the kebabs, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Baking is another option; place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven and cook until done. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to chicken breast kebabs, chicken thigh kebabs are generally more flavorful and remain juicier due to their higher fat content. The pre-applied teriyaki marinade offers a distinct sweet and savory taste that is characteristic of Japanese-inspired cuisine.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful chicken option for weeknight dinners or barbecues.
