Ingredients
|
8 long wooden skewers |
1 fresh lime, juiced and zested |
Method of Preparation
1. Soak wooden skewers in water until ready to make chicken skewers.
2. Except for the chicken thighs, mix all other ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside marinade.
3. Remove excess chicken fat from thighs and cut lengthwise into ¾” strips. Add to marinade and fold gently. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes before skewering.
4. Pre-heat grill to medium high heat.
5. Skewer 2 to 3 chicken strips onto a wooden skewer. Place on roasting rack on top of sheet pan with parchment.
6. Place remaining marinade into small saucepan and simmer for 4 minutes. Set aside for glazing.
7. Place the chicken skewers at 45° to grill and allow ends to extend beyond grill to ensure they don’t burn. Monitor and turn over when pronounced grill marks are present on chicken. Cook for another 2 minutes.
8. Remove chicken from grill and apply cooked marinade with pastry brush generously on both sides of chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place into a 400°F oven and cook until chicken is 165°F. Keep warm until service.
