For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have sake, you can substitute with dry sherry or rice wine vinegar (use slightly less rice wine vinegar as it is more acidic). The miso ranch can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. (30 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Chicken: Cut chicken thighs into roughly 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, green onions, ginger, and oil. Add the chicken and toss well to coat. Ensure the brown sugar dissolves. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours. (5 minutes)
03
StepMake the Miso Ranch Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, and miso paste until smooth. Stir in green onion, garlic, tarragon, dill, and chives. Season with black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (10 minutes)
04
StepThread the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers. (15 minutes)
05
StepPrepare the Glaze: Strain the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. This will be your teriyaki glaze. (7 minutes)
06
StepGrill the Skewers: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers, basting frequently with the teriyaki glaze, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, about 4-5 minutes per side. (10 minutes)
07
StepServe: Serve the grilled chicken teriyaki skewers immediately, alongside the miso ranch dressing for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
