Delicious easy grilled asian chicken skewers with honey garlic sauce recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes: 1.5 pounds
  • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
  • Honey: 1/4 cup
  • Garlic, minced: 4 cloves
  • Ginger, grated: 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Rice vinegar: 2 tablespoons
  • Red pepper flakes: 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). This will be your marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  4. Step 4: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers.
  5. Step 5: Grill the chicken skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char. Baste with extra marinade during the last few minutes of grilling if desired.

Notes

  • Leftover skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the skewers in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep them moist.
  • Serve these skewers with a side of fluffy rice and steamed broccoli for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • Don't skip soaking the wooden skewers; it really helps prevent them from catching fire on the grill!
