Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs can substitute with chicken breasts for a leaner option but may dry out.
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce feel free to use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier choice.
  • 1/4 cup Honey maple syrup can be a delicious substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil olive oil or canola oil works well in its place.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used if needed.
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) fresh is best, but you can opt for garlic powder in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger fresh ginger grated can provide an even brighter flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper adjust according to your taste preferences.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional) omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
For the Skewers
  • 6 pieces Skewers soak wooden skewers in water beforehand to prevent burning.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • mixing bowl
  • skewers
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F.
  5. Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
  6. Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a beautiful char.
  7. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
