Good Fortune Chicken Skewers
Good Fortune Chicken Skewers
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 kg boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Chinese mustard (or substitute with Colman's English mustard)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon SPG seasoning
- 1 tablespoon ginger (freshly grated)
- In a Cast Iron Pan, combine less sodium soy sauce, SPG (salt, pepper, garlic), brown sugar, and chopped garlic. Place the pan over direct heat on the grill to start the reduction process. Stir in three tablespoons of Dijon mustard and Chinese mustard (from mustard packets), fresh lemon juice, and grated ginger for extra zest. Allow the marinade to reduce over high heat, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, add a drizzle of olive oil, then remove from heat. If time allows, let boneless chicken thighs marinate in the cooled sauce for at least three hours. Otherwise, proceed directly to grilling. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces and place them over direct heat. Sear on all sides, basting with the sauce as you go. Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of approx. 80C, remove it from the skewers, slice into bite-sized pieces, and skewer again. Give the skewers one final quick sear, then serve hot for a delicious, flavorful bite.
