1x2x3x?

• 1 1/2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces; chicken breast may also be used
• 3 tablespoons Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil divided between marinade and glaze
• 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey for glossy caramelized glaze
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger grated
• 2 cloves Garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil optional, for deeper sesame aroma
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water for thickening the glaze
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper or to taste
• 8 Bamboo Skewers soaked in water for 20 minutes if grilling over open flame
• 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds for garnish
• 2 tablespoons Green Onions thinly sliced, for garnish
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro optional, chopped for garnish

Method

 

1. Equipment: Mixing bowl, small saucepan, whisk, cutting board, chef knife, bamboo skewers, grill or grill pan, tongs, instant-read thermometer.
2. Prep Time: 15 minutes
3. Marinating Time: 20 minutes
4. Cook Time: 12 minutes
5. Total Time: 47 minutes

Make the Marinade (5 minutes):

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper until combined.

Marinate the Chicken (20 minutes):

1. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes while the bamboo skewers soak in water.

Prepare the Glaze (5 minutes):

1. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil and set aside for brushing.

Skewer and Grill the Chicken (10 to 12 minutes):

1. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces. Grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and reaches 165°F internally.

Glaze and Finish (2 minutes):

1. Brush the skewers with the warm glaze during the final 1 to 2 minutes of grilling. Transfer to a platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and cilantro before serving.

Notes

Chicken thighs stay especially juicy on the grill, but chicken breast works well if cut into even pieces and not overcooked. For extra vegetables, thread bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, or zucchini between the chicken pieces. Serve with jasmine rice, grilled bok choy, cucumber salad, fried rice, lettuce wraps, or vegetable lo mein.

Asian Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers Recipe Tips

Asian Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers are built for big flavor, fast cooking, and easy serving. The key is using Garden Infuzions Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil in both the marinade and the glaze. The infused oil helps the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and sesame cling to the chicken while creating a glossy finish on the grill.

For the juiciest grilled chicken skewers, cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces and give the marinade at least 20 minutes to work. Do not overload the skewers. Leaving a small amount of space between pieces allows the heat to circulate, helping the chicken brown instead of steam. Brush the glaze on during the final minutes of grilling so the honey can caramelize without burning.

Best Ways to Serve Asian Glazed Chicken Skewers

These Asian chicken skewers are excellent with jasmine rice, fried rice, vegetable lo mein, grilled bok choy, roasted broccoli, cucumber salad, lettuce wraps, or stir-fried vegetables. They also work well as a party appetizer because the skewers are easy to plate, dip, and share.

For a complete Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil menu, serve these skewers with Vegetable Lo Mein with Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil, Sesame Ginger Beef and Broccoli, or Asian Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry. This helps turn one bottle of infused olive oil into a full collection of quick weeknight meals.

Why Use Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil?

Plain oil can help prevent sticking, but Asian Stir-Fry Infused Olive Oil adds flavor before the chicken ever reaches the grill. It supports the garlic ginger glaze and gives the finished skewers a savory Asian-inspired base that tastes balanced with soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds.

For safe grilling, always cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F and rest it briefly before serving. For additional food safety guidance, visit the USDA chicken safety guide. For general healthy eating guidance, the American Heart Association healthy cooking oils guide is also a helpful resource.

Storage and Make-Ahead Notes

Leftover Asian glazed grilled chicken skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet, air fryer, or oven until warmed through. For meal prep, remove the chicken from the skewers and serve it over rice bowls, salads, noodle bowls, wraps, or sautéed vegetables. Avoid freezing fully glazed skewers if possible because the texture of the sauce may change after thawing.
