Add the ponzu, brown sugar, honey, coffee concentrate, salt and pepper, and lime juice, deglazing with the liquids. Bring to a boil and whisk in the cornstarch slurry until thickened. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and set aside.

    2. Skewer the chicken strips and grill for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and serve hot, with the sauce on the side.
