Honey Soy Chicken Skewers

• 2 pounds chicken thighs, cut into 1” pieces
• 1 large shallot, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, freshly grated
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
• 2-3 tablespoons honey

Kosher salt + freshly ground pepper

Olive oil, for grill

• 1 red jalapeño or fresno chile, thinly sliced
• 3 scallions, sliced

Sesame seeds

Reserved marinade sauce

1. In a medium bowl, add shallots, garlic and lime juice, and let soak for 15 minutes while prepping chicken.
2. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and honey to shallot mixture. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade to use as a sauce for serving! Add chicken to marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high or 425 degrees (a large grill pan can work too). Brush grill with a bit of olive oil.
4. Remove chicken from marinade, and discard sauce. Thread chicken onto skewers (metal is my preference). Grill on both sides until chicken is done in the middle, about 4-5 minutes per side.
5. Remove skewers to a serving platter, pour reserved marinade sauce over top along with pepper slices, scallions and sesame seeds.
