Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons water
For Grilling
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for greasing the grill
  • 4 skewers wooden or metal skewers if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and honey. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce
  1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. If desired, mix cornstarch with a little water and add to the sauce to thicken. Stir until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
Assemble and Grill
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grease the grates with vegetable oil.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
  3. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve
  1. Remove the skewers from the grill and brush with the honey garlic sauce.
  2. Serve warm with additional sauce on the side for dipping.
