Instructions
Creating Grilled Asian Chicken Skewers is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Make Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
5. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and veggies for a colorful presentation.
7. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor.
