Ingredients
– 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions
Creating Grilled Asian Chicken Skewers is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:
1. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Cut the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes for even cooking and better marinating.
3. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
4. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
7. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
10. Serve Hot: Enjoy your Grilled Asian Chicken Skewers while they’re still warm!
