Cover top in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and miso in a bowl. Add green onion, garlic, tarragon, dill, and chives. Season with black pepper and cayenne. Whisk dressing until thoroughly combined.
• Thread chicken pieces onto skewers. Strain marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil to make the glaze.

• Serve skewers next to the miso ranch dressing and brush with reserved glaze.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGH SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons pineapple juice, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons hot honey, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and ginger in a saucepan; stir until well combined.

• Place chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush skewers with more sauce. Broil each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with extra teriyaki sauce on the side.
