Deliciously flavorful Asian-inspired grilled chicken skewers - perfect as an appetizer or main course. Irresistibly sweet, salty, and fragrant marinade. Crowd-pleaser guaranteed!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup black bean sauce
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.25 cup minced green onions
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 12 (6 inch) wooden skewers, or as needed, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions:
  • Combine sugar, black bean sauce, parsley, green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, sesame oil, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder in a bowl. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat in marinade, remove excess air, and seal. Refrigerate for optimal flavor, turning occasionally, for up to 2 days.
  • Prepare the grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Thread the chicken tenders onto skewers.
  • Grill the skewered chicken until fully cooked, approximately 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Check for doneness by ensuring the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer.
