How to Make Sesame Chicken Skewers
- Cut each chicken breast (about 1.5 lbs) into 4 long strips.
- In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste). Marinate chicken strips in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread marinated chicken strips onto skewers.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade into the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish. Place the skewers in the dish and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds (about 1 tablespoon).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
