Ingredients

¼cupreduced-sodium tamariorsoy sauce (see Tip)

2tablespoonshoney

1tablespoonketchuporhoisin sauce

1tablespoontoasted sesame oil

1 ½teaspoonsgrated fresh ginger

2largecloves garlic, grated

1poundboneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

2tablespoonswater

1teaspooncornstarch

1teaspoonsesame seeds, toasted

1scallion, sliced

Directions

Whisk tamari (or soy sauce), honey, ketchup (or hoisin), sesame oil, ginger and garlic in a medium bowl. Transfer half of the mixture (about 1/4 cup) to a small saucepan. Add chicken to the remaining mixture in the bowl and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Meanwhile, bring the marinade in the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; whisk into the sauce. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is bubbling and thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; cover and set aside.

Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and brush with the reserved sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.

Equipment:

4 (10-inch) metal skewers

Tip:

People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled “gluten-free,” as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing ingredients.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
