Ingredients

• 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 6 whole Scallions (green onions)
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Ginger
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the scallions, removing the root ends, and cut them into 1.5-inch segments.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, olive oil, honey, finely minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Place the chicken cubes into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 hour for stronger flavor).

Step 5

While the chicken marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 6

Thread the chicken and scallion pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the two, until all ingredients are used up.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chicken and scallion skewers hot with your choice of dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
