Recipe Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast 900g, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup Raw Honey 120ml
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce 60ml
  • 6 cloves Garlic Finely minced
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar 15ml
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil 5ml
  • 2 tbsp Toasted White Sesame Seeds For garnish
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions 25g, finely chopped

Equipment

  • 10 Wooden Skewers Soak in water for 30 mins
  • 1 Grill or Grill Pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Simmer honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and sesame oil in a saucepan until thickened.
  2. Thread chicken cubes onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving space for heat circulation.
Grilling
  1. Grill skewers over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until dark grill marks appear.
  2. Brush the thick sauce onto the chicken during the last 2 minutes, turning to caramelize.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately top with sesame seeds and green onions on a white plate.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Apply the glaze only in the final minutes of cooking to avoid burning the honey.
