Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 whole bell pepper (red or yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 whole red onion, cut into wedges
  • as needed pieces bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
  • as needed tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
  • as needed tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Prepare Skewers: After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked bamboo skewers, alternating with bell pepper pieces and onion wedges for added color.
  4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  6. Baste for Extra Flavor: Optional: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the remaining marinade on the skewers for a glaze effect.
  7. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
