Chunks of marinated chicken thread onto skewers and grill up smoky and caramelized, basted with a sweet-savory honey garlic glaze. The marinade doubles as a basting sauce, building layers of flavor as the chicken cooks. Serve over rice or alongside grilled vegetables for a simple weeknight dinner or casual cookout centerpiece.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Method
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper.
-
Set aside 1/4 cup of the honey garlic mixture in a separate container to use for basting later. Add the chicken cubes to the remaining marinade, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate.
-
If using wooden skewers, soak 8 skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil.
-
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper and red onion. Discard the used marinade.
-
Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the chicken is charred in spots and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes total.
-
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the reserved honey garlic sauce.
-
Transfer skewers to a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve warm.
