  2. Marinate Chicken by cutting chicken into cubes, placing in a ziplock bag, adding half of the teriyaki sauce. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Grill by preheating to medium heat, oiling the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Skewer Chicken by threading chicken pieces onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Grill Skewers for 20-30 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until cooked through and baste with reserved teriyaki sauce.
  6. Serve by garnishing skewers with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, serving with extra sauce on the side.
