Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1.5 inch pieces)
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Asian five spice, green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper (and optional five spice). Pour half of the marinade over the chicken in a separate bowl or bag; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill skewers for about 4–5 minutes on each side until fully cooked, basting with remaining marinade.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or cooked noodles with chopped green onions.
