Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 lb Chicken (cut into cubes)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger (grated)
  • 1 tbsp Onion powder
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 4 tbsp Soy sauce (or chilly oil)
  • 2 tbsp Chilly sauce (spicy)
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup

Instruction

  • Marinade - In a marinade-safe bowl add all the marinade ingredients. Combine well so the brown sugar almost melts. Pro tip- always marinate in glass or stainless bowls, do not use aluminum or other metal as they tend to oxidize due to the acid in the marinade.
  • Marinate - Add the chicken pieces and combine well. Cover and leave to marinate for 15 mins on the counter or 3 hours in the fridgePro tip - this chicken can be marinated up to overnight in the fridge. Thaw on the counter an hour before cooking.
  • Skewers - Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Then thread 3 to 4 chicken pieces on each skewer. Pro tip - soaking the skewers in water will prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Sauce - Put the remaining marinade and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan or frypan over medium. Cook the marinade for 2 to 3 minutes until thick like syrup - set aside.
  • Grill - Cook the chicken on a hot grill, turning once every 2 minutes until cooked on all sides. About 4 to 5 minutes per skewer. In the last two minutes, brush the chicken with the prepared sauce. Pro tip - the sugar in the sauce adds a nice touch and color of caramelization.
  • Serve over steamed rice or noodles with the remaining sauce.
