Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, vegetable oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4

Skewer the Chicken

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

5

Grill the Skewers

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

6

Serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.
