Grilled Chicken Skewers with Crisp Lettuce & Zesty Dipping Sauce

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare Chicken Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
2. 2

   Soak Skewers (if wooden): While chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
3. 3

   Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
4. 4

   Make Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, sriracha, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, lime juice, and 1 tbsp chopped cilantro. Whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings.
5. 5

   Cook Skewers: Preheat grill to medium-high heat, or heat a grill pan/large skillet over medium-high. Lightly oil the cooking surface. Place skewers on the hot surface and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until chicken is charred and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
6. 6

   Serve: Arrange crisp lettuce leaves on a platter. Place cooked chicken skewers alongside the lettuce and serve with the tangy dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint if desired.
