Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions (sliced)
- 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has slight char marks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the cooked skewers with the remaining sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or as part of a larger meal.
