Ingredients
For the marinade/glaze/sauce:
- ¼ cup smoky barbecue sauce We like Sweet Baby Rays
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce more to tasate
- 2 medium cloves garlic
For the chicken:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 to 1½-inch pieces
- 3 medium zucchini cut into ½-inch slices
- 1 large red onion cut into 1¼ to 1½-inch pieces
- 3 medium bell peppers cut into 1¼ to 1½-inch pieces )I used red, yellow and orange.)
Instructions
For the marinade/glaze/sauce:
- Combine all sauce ingredients and stir well to combine. Set aside.
For the chicken:
- About 2-4 hours before serving, place chicken and 3 tablespoons sauce in a zippered bag. Squeeze bag gently to coat chicken with sauce. Refrigerate till ready to assemble skewers.
- If using wooden skewers, soak in water while chicken is marinating. (The skewers will still char, even with soaking, but this will prevent them from igniting.)
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high. Clean the grates and oil lightly.
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator and thread with the veggies onto skewers. Leave at least 1-inch space on both ends of skewers for handling.
- Remove ½ cup of the sauce and reserve the rest for the dipping sauce.
- Place skewers on the hot, clean, oiled grill, turning about every 2-3 minutes. Baste with the sauce with each turn. Cook until golden and lightly charred, 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from grill and tent with foil for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining sauce for dipping or drizzle skewers with some of the sauce.
Notes
