Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Skewers

  • 2 chicken breasts about 350 g, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into large chunks
  • 1 onion cut into squares
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Fresh coriander cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, dark soy sauce, and honey.
  • Place the chicken pieces into a bowl and pour over three-quarters of the marinade, reserving the remaining marinade for brushing later.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat a barbecue or hot griddle until very hot.
  • Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper, and onion alternately onto each skewer.
  • Discard any marinade that has been in contact with the raw chicken.
  • Grill the Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes. Brush with the reserved unused marinade halfway through cooking.
  • Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink inside.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped coriander before serving.

Notes

  • Metal skewers eliminate the need for soaking.
  • Leftover marinade should never be reused if it has touched raw chicken.
  • Garnish with extra sesame seeds and fresh herbs for added flavor.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime adds a bright finishing touch.
