Instructions
1-Whisk marinade: Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
2-Coat chicken: Add chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly.
3-Marinate chicken: Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally 1 to 2 hours.
4-Soak skewers: While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
5-Thread skewers: Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving small gaps for even cooking.
6-Cook skewers: Cook over medium-high heat (about 400°F) on the grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
7-Glaze with marinade: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush on reserved marinade for a sticky glaze.
8-Check doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
9-Rest and garnish: Let skewers rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

🍗 Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before marinating so the marinade clings better and promotes better browning.
🔥 For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a drizzle of sriracha to the marinade.
🥕 Thread vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes between chicken pieces for a complete meal on a stick.
