Servings 6 chicken thighs

Ingredients
  

  • 6 boneless chicken thighs (can make up to 12 with the amount of marinade in this recipe)
  • 1/4 cup minced ginger fresh or jarred
  • 1/3 cup minced shallot
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 green onions minced

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine ginger, shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, and soy sauce. Whisk together.
  • Reserve half of the mixture for serving and pour the other half in a shallow baking dish.
  • Add the chicken thighs and 2 chopped green onions.
  • Cover, and set aside for 30 minutes. Place skewers in water for 30 minutes at this time.
  • Preheat grill to 400℉.
  • Arrange chicken skewers. Slide first skewer 1 inch from the left side of thigh and second skewer 1 inch from the right side of thigh. Add a second chicken thigh to these same skewers. Repeat for remaining chicken thighs.
  • Transfer skewers to grill. Grill 8-10 minutes a side or until thighs are golden and firm. Remove from grill and arrange on serving dish off of the skewers. Drizzle with the reserved ginger mixture (not the marinade). Sprinkle with remaining green onion.
