Ingredients
⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, ketchup, honey, sesame oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Reserve 1/3 cup and set aside.
In a gallon-size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine the soy sauce mixture with the chicken; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Add skewers to the grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Brush skewers with the reserved soy sauce mixture, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
Great recipe to marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor
Avoid overcooking to keep chicken tender
Use skewers soaked in water to prevent burning
Serve with fresh herbs for added freshness
