Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Sesame Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons gluten-free sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, gluten-free sesame oil, minced garlic, sesame seeds, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

Place the chicken cubes in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Grease the grill grates or grill pan lightly to prevent sticking. Place the chicken skewers on the grill.

Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove the Sesame Chicken Skewers from the grill and serve hot. You can garnish them with extra sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Enjoy your gluten-free Sesame Chicken Skewers as a delicious and flavorful appetizer!
