Ingredients
  

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For Skewers

  • 1 bunch green onions cut into 1-inch pieces (optional, for grilling)
  • wooden or metal skewers soaked if wooden

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the marinade.
  • Add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. If baking, place skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through.
  • If desired, you can grill or sauté the green onions alongside the chicken for the last few minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnished with extra sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

These chicken skewers are incredibly versatile. They can be served as an appetizer, a main course with rice or a salad, or even packed for lunches. The marinade can be made ahead of time for even quicker preparation.
