Preparation

Step 1

1. Position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high.
2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the hoisin, sherry, soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes.
4. Trim and cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
5. Add the chicken to the sauce and toss to coat.
6. Thread the chicken onto 6-inch skewers, using 3 to 4 pieces for each skewer and leaving some space between the pieces.
7. Arrange the kebabs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and broil until well browned, about 6 minutes.
8. Flip and continue broiling until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
9. If the chicken begins to burn, move the rack down one level.
10. Cook the chicken at 425 degrees, then cut it up and dip in the sauce before putting on skewers.
11. Put the skewers in the oven for 5 minutes to heat/cook sauce.
