Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
Vegetables (optional)
  • 1 bell pepper cut into chunks any color
  • 1 medium red onion cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini sliced
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
  • 2 scallions sliced

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch until well combined.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Skewers
  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken and optional vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
Grill the Skewers
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve
  1. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  2. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
