Orange Chicken Skewers

This is a healthy and delicious recipe for the bbq. Took in the Coup de Pouce (magazine in Quebec)

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a big bowl, mix together orange juice, cider vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and hot sauce. Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade in a bowl, add honey and mix well. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Add the chicken cubes to the marinade without honey and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with saran-wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 4 hours (you can prepare the chicken until this step and cover it. It will be good until the next day).
  3. 3
    Preheat the bbq to medium-high heat. On skewers or on soaked wooden skewers, thread chicken equally onto each skewer. Ligthly oil the grill and put the chicken skewers and baste with the marinade. Close the cover and cook for 10 minutes (turn the skewers 2 times during cooking time). Baste the skewers with a little bit of the honey marinade you set aside and cook 1 minute more. Turn the skewers, baste with the remaining honey marinade and cook 1 minute more or until the chicken is not pink inside.

OK, so I was lazy and didn't skewer my chicken...but it was darn tasty nevertheless. (just a little less fancy) Tender with bursts of flavor in every bite. Even though I increased the garlic, the ginger was still the dominate player here. Kids LOVED it...which is always good! I served mine with fresh green beans and Basmati rice pilaf tonight. I think we have a new favorite in the house for grilled chicken. Thanks, Babe!

    oh great marinade!, I increased the fresh garlic and the Tabasco, freshly squeezed orange juice is a must for this, I marinated for 8 hours, grilled them outdoors and served with marinaded cherry tomato skewers, we loved this, thanks for sharing Booms!

    This was wonderful!!! I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and breasts! I also used onion, red and green bell pepper between the meat when skewering. Will probably use again when marinating chicken for baking and grillings. Thanks Boomette!

    WOW This is great. The flavor was awsome. I used chicken tenders so omitted the skewer part. Will definatly make this again. Thanks for the great recipe.
