Equipment
- 12-16 bamboo skewers
- 1 9x13" baking dish or large bowl
- 1 grill
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or chicken tenders
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare chicken by dicing into half inch pieces or cutting into long strips against the grain. Set aside in a bowl or plastic zip top bag.
- Combine all of the other ingredients and pour the mixture over the chicken. Allow the chicken to marinade for 1-2 hours.
- After the chicken has marinated, turn on the grill to 400F.
- Soak wood skewers in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Drain the skewers and get ready to skewer the marinated chicken.
- Poke the wood skewers through the center of each piece of chicken until you have the desired amount of meat on each skewer, about halfway to two thirds along the skewer is a good portion size. Once it is complete, set it aside and continue to skewer all of the chicken.
- Once all of the skewers are assembled, place them on your hot grill and cook with the lid down for 7-8 minutes per side. Flip the chicken skewers to create grill marks on all sides and to ensure even cooking.
- Make sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and garnish with sesame seeds or thinly sliced green onions.
