Preparation

Step 1

Cut the chicken into 1 - 1.5” pieces.
Combine the Marinade ingredients in a bowl.
Add the chicken and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Thread chicken onto skewers.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet (big enough to fit the skewers) over medium high heat.
Cook half the skewers for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until deep golden brown, using spatula to press them so they cook through evenly. Repeat with remaining skewers.
Serve immediately, garnished with finely sliced scallions.
