Ingredients
Chicken Skewers
- 2 lbs. chicken thighs, 1-inch cubes, boneless skinless
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons gochujang, Korean chili paste
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons garlic, diced very small
- ½ teaspoon salt
- pinch black pepper
- 1 pineapple, cored and cubed
- 2 red bell peppers, cored and cubed
Garnishes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, sprinkle over the cooked skewers
- 1 tablespoon scallions, sprinkle over the cooked skewers
Equipment
- 1 glass or plastic sealable container not metal
- 6-8 metal skewers or wood
- 2 baking trays one for the raw skewers / one for the cooked skewers
Instructions
- In a glass mixing bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, avocado oil, sesame oil, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, diced garlic, salt and black pepper. Whisk well. Cube your chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, cube the pineapple and red bell pepper. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and begin assembling the skewers. Alternate marinated chicken, cubed pineapple and cubed red bell pepper. You’ll get 6-8 skewers.
- Preheat the gas grill to 400-450 degrees. Brush the grates with avocado oil. This will allow the chicken to easily release from the grill grates. No sticking. Add the skewers. Grill for 12-15 minutes flipping every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. You’ll want the chicken to reach 170 degrees. Thigh meat requires a higher internal temperature than breast meat.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and enjoy.
