Learn how to make delicious Grilled Asian Chicken Skewers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup soy sauce (use low-sodium for a healthier option)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions for garnish
1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Sliced lime for serving
Instructions
Begin by soaking bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. This marinade is the heart of the dish, bringing all the flavors together.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan indoors, make sure it’s well-oiled and heated to a similar temperature.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Look for a juicy interior and a slightly crispy exterior.
Once done, transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
