Directions

Combine first eight ingredients, soy sauce through ginger in a large bowl or baggie

Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.

If you are using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes.

Preheat grill or broiler.

Thread skewers with chicken, peppers, onions, pineapple and mushrooms (if desired)

Grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is firm to the touch – about 10 minutes.

Serve with rice, sliced green onions, and peanuts.

We made a sweet/hot dipping sauce with equal parts soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sriracha.
