Description

Marinated chicken thighs grilled to perfection, coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken thighs into 1-2 inch pieces, add them to the marinade, mixing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
  3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high. Ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  6. Grill the Skewers: Cook skewers for about 10-12 minutes, rotating every few minutes until caramelized and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Serve with Garnish: Remove from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush with leftover marinade during the last minute of cooking, ensuring it’s boiled first.
