Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb bacon, cut in half
½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Wooden or metal skewers
Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Directions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks.
- Wrap each piece of chicken with a half slice of bacon.
- Thread chicken onto skewers, bacon seam side down.
- Brush with teriyaki sauce on all sides.
- Grill or bake:
Grill: Preheat to medium heat. Cook skewers 10–12 minutes, turning and brushing with more sauce until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
Oven: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway and brushing with more sauce. - Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for a meatier bite, or thin-cut for crispier results.
Make them spicier by adding sriracha to the teriyaki sauce.
Pairs well with rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated.
