Cooking Directions

Skewering
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green onion.

Grilling
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, basting with the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.

Serve
