Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)

• 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)

• 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder (optional)

• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

For Grilling:

• Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)

• Cooking oil for brushing

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients until well combined.

2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers.

4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

7. Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor.
