Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Cooking Tips:
- To ensure that the chicken cooks evenly, cut it into bite-sized pieces before marinating and skewering.
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water before using them will prevent them from burning on the grill.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. Serve the skewers hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
