Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

For the Marinade

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Sweet and Sour Glaze

• ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and vegetable oil to make the marinade.
2. Place the chicken cubes in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Toss the chicken to ensure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
3. In the meantime, prepare the sweet and sour glaze by combining the ketchup, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.
7. Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Brush the sweet and sour glaze onto the skewers during the last few minutes of grilling, turning them to ensure even coverage.
9. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve the BBQ Chicken Skewers with Sweet and Sour Glaze hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Tips

• Feel free to adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the glaze according to your preference by adjusting the amount of honey or vinegar.
• If using metal skewers, there's no need to soak them in water.
• Serve the skewers with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
