Equipment

Wooden or metal skewers

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs Cut into 1 inch pieces

Chicken Marinade

1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp chili garlic or Sriracha
2 tbsp honey

Instructions

Marinate

Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite sized 1 inch pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken thigh pieces with all the marinade ingredients. Toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight.

Skewer

If you using wooden skewers, soak in cold water for 20-30 minutes prior to skewering chicken. This will help prevent the skewers from burning on the grill.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

Grill

Before skewering the chicken, oil and preheat the grill to 350℉.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 20 minutes, flipping every 4–5 minutes to ensure even cooking and achieve that perfect char and caramelized exterior!

Notes

Marinating Time: For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge. If you're short on time, you can skip the marinating and go straight to skewering and grilling—the skewers will still be delicious!
Cooking Alternatives: No grill? No problem! You can also cook these skewers in the air fryer at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake them in the oven at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
