Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Tahini Chicken Skewers.
Step 1
Start by bringing your food processor to life! Toss in the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, red wine vinegar, tahini, lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 2
Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy marinade that will elevate your chicken to new heights.
Step 3
Next, grab a zip-top bag and pour in your delicious marinade.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips, diced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds, then seal the bag tightly.
Step 5
Give it a gentle shake to ensure everything is well-coated, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
Step 6
For the best flavor, let it soak overnight—trust us, it’s worth the wait! While your chicken is soaking up all that flavor, don’t forget to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least two hours.
Step 7
This little step will help prevent them from burning on the grill, ensuring your skewers stay intact and delicious.
Step 8
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 9
Now it’s time for the fun part! Thread those marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 10
Place the skewers on the grill and let them sizzle for about three minutes on each side.
Step 11
You’ll know they’re done when the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 12
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as you serve up these flavorful skewers, perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy dinner at home!.
