Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers evenly.
- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (375°F). Lightly oil grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill Chicken: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F, turning occasionally.
- Serve: Drizzle with extra honey or sprinkle more red pepper flakes before serving.
