Chinese Street Cart Chicken Skewers

Step 1

Start by soaking a couple of skewers in some water. You do this just so that the wood doesn't burn when you cook them. I find that just a couple minutes is good enough.

Step 2

Cut up the chicken thighs into medium sized pieces. You should get around 6 -8 pieces per thigh.

Step 3

Then throw all the chicken pieces together with the rest of the spices & oils. Toss to combine. You can leave this to marinate for up to 2 days or use immediately. I'm impatient so I always use it immediately and its always seasoned perfectly to me.

Step 4

Now you can start pushing the chicken pieces through the skewer. I normally do about 5 - 7 pieces per skewer.

Step 5

Once you are ready to cook get your heaviest pan on a medium high flame with a little bit of oil and start searing those babies up. It will take about 3 minutes per side. I sometimes do it a little longer so I get the crunchy bits.

Step 6

When they are all done, sprinkle with scallions or sesame seeds. Totally optional but I love both so I sprinkle them on!
