The Best And Easy Healthy Chinese Chicken Skewers On A Stick Home Made Recipe


Honey Sesame Chicken Skewers - sticky sweet and savory chicken on skewers. So easy to make, so delicious that you won't stop eating. 

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 5 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless (about 17 oz)
  • 1 Tbsp Mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
  • 2 Tbsp Hoisin sauce
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1” piece of ginger, grated
  • 3 scallions, in 1” pieces
  • 6 – 8 wooden skewers

Instructions:

  1. Mix the mirin, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, oil and ginger in a large bowl.
  2. Cut the chicken in 1-1.5” pieces and add them to the marinade, stir well.
  3. Cover the bowl and allow the chicken to marinade for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Soak the wooden skewers in for 30 minutes water so they won’t burn on the grill (as you can see on the photos I was too impatient, I soaked them for 10 minutes).
  5. Skewer the chicken and the pieces of scallions onto the skewers. Give them some space inbetween and don’t smash them together so they can cook evenly.
  6. Cook them on the barbecue grill or in a griddle pan for about 8 minutes, flipping them over after 4 minutes.
  7. Serve with rice and green beans.
