Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size. This will make it easier to skewer and cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Make Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Skewer Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread each piece onto a toothpick. Make sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  3. 6

    Grill Chicken

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the chicken skewers from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the Hodak’s Toothpick skewers warm, with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
