Grilled Marinated Chicken Skewers
Grilled Marinated Chicken Skewers feature juicy chicken pieces infused with a soy-lemon marinade that balances salty, sweet, and tangy notes, complemented by caramelized onions, bell pepper, and tender mushrooms. The sesame-kissed glaze lightly chars on the grill, giving each bite a toasty finish. Serve for a relaxed weeknight dinner or a backyard cookout when you want bright, bold flavor without fuss.

Whisk the oil, soy sauce, light corn syrup, lemon juice, sesame seeds, garlic powder, and garlic salt in a medium bowl until well blended. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess; thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with the onions, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Place the skewers on a plate and set aside.

Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- 5
Grill the skewers on the preheated grill, flipping often, until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, baste frequently with the boiled marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers of the chicken pieces should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
