For Garnishing:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper.
Add chicken cubes to a sealable container and pour over the marinade, ensuring even coverage. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for best flavor.
Prepare the Skewers & Grill:
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers.
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Grill skewers for 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F / 75°C).
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Make the Glaze:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar.
In a separate cup, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Once the glaze is simmering, stir in the slurry and cook until thickened (about 1–2 minutes).
Glaze & Serve:
Brush the warm glaze over the grilled chicken skewers.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
