Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1/4 cup fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1/4 cup Sriracha
2 teaspoons finely grated peeled ginger
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2"-2" pieces
Ingredient info: Hot chili paste is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets.
Special Equipment
8 bamboo skewers soaked in water at least 1 hour

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Whisk brown sugar, vinegar, chili paste, fish sauce, Sriracha, and ginger in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Thread 4 or 5 chicken pieces onto each skewer.
  • Transfer marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half (about 1 cup), 7-10 minutes.
  • Grill chicken, turning and basting often with reduced marinade, until cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
