Filipino Chicken Skewers
Description
Filipino Chicken Skewers combine chunks of boneless skinless chicken breast marinated in a mixture including sweet soy sauce and banana ketchup, alongside minced garlic and ginger. The ingredients create a distinctive sweet and savory base typical in Filipino cuisine. Threading the marinated chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers prevents burning and facilitates even cooking.
The skewers are grilled over direct heat on an outdoor grill while being brushed with extra virgin olive oil to maintain moisture and encourage slight charring on the surface. This method yields chicken with tender, juicy interiors and a subtly caramelized exterior, balancing acidity from lemon juice and spices.
These skewers are best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the fresh grilled flavor and juicy texture. They can be accompanied by simple sides or enjoyed as appetizers or part of a meal without requiring complex preparation.
Ingredients
- 12 oz (350g) chicken breast cut into cubes, boneless and skinless
- 3/4 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sweet soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon banana ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch (2.5cm) ginger minced
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 dashes black pepper ground
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Pompeian organic extra virgin
Instructions
- Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, banana ketchup, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and lemon juice for 30 minutes. Stir the chicken and sauces together to coat well.
- Thread a few pieces of chicken onto the bamboo skewers, and repeat until all the chicken cubes are threaded.
- Preheat an outdoor grill and grill the chicken skewers. Brush Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil onto the chicken while grilling. Turn the skewers over and grill the other side until both sides are slightly charred.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor.
