Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1″ cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/3 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or gochujang
12 bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade for grilling.
Add chicken cubes to the remaining marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Thread marinated chicken evenly onto skewers.
Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Brush skewers with reserved marinade.
Grill or broil for 10 minutes, flip, brush with more marinade, and cook for another 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and caramelized. Add chili garlic sauce or gochujang during the last 2 minutes for extra heat.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Replace oyster sauce with hoisin sauce or a mix of soy sauce and brown sugar for a vegetarian alternative.
Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
