Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to make the glaze.
  2. Thread chicken pieces onto soaked skewers and brush generously with half of the glaze.
