Recipe makes for 4 Servings

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp soy sauce

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp ASian chili powder or cayenne powder

1 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice

1 lb boneless chicken breast or thigh meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

6 spring onions, bottom 6-inch only

12 skewers


Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the ginger, honey, soy sauce, turmeric powder, Asian chili powder and orange juice. Add the chicken and mix well to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes to overnight.

Twenty minutes prior to cooking, set the chicken at room temperature to take off the chill.

Cut the spring onion bottoms into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Skewer the chicken and spring onion pieces, alternating each.


Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If possible, leave one section of your grill on low heat. Grill on medium-high heat, 2 minutes each side and then move the skewers to the low heat to finish cooking, covered for another 2 minutes. Watch the skewers as the sugars in the honey and orange juice may caramelize fast.
