Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch strips
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. This savory marinade adds depth of flavor and helps keep the chicken skewers juicy on the grill.
Step 2
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes. This allows the juicy flavors to penetrate the meat, creating a delicious base for grilling.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Grill the chicken skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they have a golden char and the chicken is cooked through. Turn them occasionally for an even, beautifully grilled finish.
Step 5
Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with a side of peanut sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. These skewers are perfect for adding a bold, savory flavor to any appetizer spread.
