Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers is simple and straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat Grill: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F).
4. Skewer Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for added freshness and presentation.
7. Serve: Transfer the skewers to a serving platter, showcasing their enticing glaze and vibrant colors.
