Hoisin Chicken Kebabs

Submitted by Chef floWer

"Hoisin (or Hoi Sin) sauce also known is Chinese barbeque sauce, can be found pre-made in a jar at the supermarket. I prefer to use the "Fountain" brand, but there are many options these days. I've served this recipe hot as a main meal with an Asian Vegetable Stir-fry as a side dish. I've also brought them to a social function and thread them on small skewers, they were eaten cold as finger food. Ten minute marinating time is included in preparation. You can marinate this overnight or just ten minutes."

• 500 g boneless skinless chicken breasts

directions

1. Cut chicken breast into one inch pieces and set aside.

Delicious and very easy to make! I used chicken thigh instead of breast and used only 1/4 tsp. of vinegar the rest I followed the recipe. Never had Hoisin sauce before so I used the Fountain brand too and we liked it. Grilled them on BBQ by the lake and enjoyed them outdoor. Served them with brown rice and light coleslaw. Will definitely make them again! Thank you Chef floWer!

This was delicious! My daughter (age 8) helped me make it, and it was "easy peasy". The only change we made was to toss in some garlic powder as well.

*Reviewed for Aussie NZ Forum Recipe Swap March 2010* These were delicous......my whole family enjoyed these and the kids want to give you 20 stars out of 5 :) So tender and tasty. I used "Changs" brand tamari Hoisin sauce as it is gluten-free and marinated the chicken pieces this morning. Threaded them just before cooking. I could only buy the small bamboo skewers and 1 kilo of chicken made 16 skewers. The 4 piggies here totally enjoyed them and there's no left-overs. I served them with a vege stir-fry. I'm so full now....so very glad that I didn't cook rice as well. Photos also to be posted. Thanks for another delicious recipe
