Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut the boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving space between them, and add colorful vegetables if desired.
  6. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
