Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs More flavorful and juicier than chicken breasts.
  • 4 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal) If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Swap for tamari to make it gluten-free.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Maple syrup is a great vegan alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Can substitute with any neutral oil like canola.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Use white wine vinegar as an alternative.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic is highly recommended.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger For a punchier flavor, use fresh grated ginger.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional; feel free to omit for a milder flavor.

Equipment

  • grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • skewers
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cut the boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes in a separate bowl.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
