Asian Honey Garlic Chicken Kabobs

Yield: 6 servings Active time: 1 hour Total time: 3 hours July 3, 2020

Three and a half months in to a global pandemic, socializing with friends indoors or meeting in restaurants isn’t an option. There’s little comfort level for sharing food or even serving utensils. The best way we’ve found to see friends is outside, and sharing food straight off the grill (everyone can grab their own skewers) seems reasonable.

These flavorful kabobs are absolutely delicious and provided a bright moment of entertaining during a long challenging summer.

Recipe from Damn Delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 2 Tbs. ketchup
  • 2 Tbs. honey
  • 2 Tbs. chili garlic sauce
  • 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp. freshly grated ginger
  • 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. canola oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine oyster sauce, ketchup, honey, chili garlic sauce, Dijon, garlic, ginger and 1 Tbs. water. Reserve 1/3 cup and set aside.

In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine oyster sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.

Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Preheat grill to medium heat.

Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165º, about 10 minutes. Brush skewers with reserved oyster sauce mixture, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
