grilled orange chicken

Flame-kissed, sticky and saucy, grilled orange chicken skewers with a rich, citrus-based marinade are delicious, juicy and so tender. The best summer weeknight dinner.

Grilled Orange Chicken Skewers

chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into 1.5-inch thick cubes

Maggi sauce (or soy sauce)

orange juice,

orange zest

vegetable oil

garlic, minced

white pepper (optional)

teaspoon black pepper

cornstarch

In a medium bowl, combine Maggi sauce (or soy sauce), orange juice, orange zest, vegetable oil, garlic, white pepper (optional), and black pepper. Stir well until combined. Add chicken breast and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight). You can also store the marinated chicken breasts in a sealable ziploc bag.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, and reserve the marinade. Thread the chicken onto skewers, adding about 6-7 pieces of cubed chicken breasts for each skewer. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before you thread the chicken on and grill to stop them from burning.

Lightly brush olive oil over grill or grill pan. Preheat the grill over medium high heat for 3 minutes until the oil starts sizzling and shimmering. Place the skewers spaced evenly apart on the grill and grill for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F. Do not overlap the skewers at any time to ensure even cooking for all the skewers.

Place the reserved marinade into a small cooking pot and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes, until it starts to boil. Add cornstarch and stir continuously with a spoon to dissolve, until the sauce starts to thicken and forms a smooth and thick sauce. You don’t need much sauce, a tablespoon is plenty for coating the chicken.

Transfer the skewers onto a plate and drizzle with the orange sauce.

Yum! Gotta love a good chicken recipe. I haven't done much with skewers. Is it easy enough to get the chicken on there well?

Absolutely yummy! Great recipe, beautiful pics and love how easy these skewers come together. Perfect marinade and perfect for summer!
