Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

¼ cup coconut aminos (soy-free seasoning sauce)
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chile-garlic paste, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each cut into 5 pieces
¼ cup pineapple juice
3 (24-inch) long metal skewers
¾ cup red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 ½ cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

Combine coconut aminos, orange juice, avocado oil, ginger, and chile-garlic paste in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Season marinade with salt and pepper and add chicken pieces. Gently squeeze the sides of the bag, coating all of the chicken with the marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, and spread out chicken pieces in a single layer inside the bag.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, turning the bag a few times during that time.
Drain marinade into a small saucepan and add pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until marinade has reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, alternately thread each skewer with chicken, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and pineapple. Repeat until each skewer is filled.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Set skewers on the hot grill grate. Brush with reduced marinade, reduce heat to medium, close the lid, and grill 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brush with marinade reduction. Monitor for flare-ups, and move skewers as necessary to manage any flames. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Serve skewers over hot cooked rice.

Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup orange juice concentrate or 1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil (optional)
4 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco)
2 tablespoons honey
1 lb boneless chicken breast, skin and grease removed, cut into 1-inch cube

Steps:

In a big bowl, mix together orange juice, cider vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and hot sauce. Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade in a bowl, add honey and mix well. Set aside.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade without honey and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with saran-wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 4 hours (you can prepare the chicken until this step and cover it. It will be good until the next day).
Preheat the bbq to medium-high heat. On skewers or on soaked wooden skewers, thread chicken equally onto each skewer. Ligthly oil the grill and put the chicken skewers and baste with the marinade. Close the cover and cook for 10 minutes (turn the skewers 2 times during cooking time). Baste the skewers with a little bit of the honey marinade you set aside and cook 1 minute more. Turn the skewers, baste with the remaining honey marinade and cook 1 minute more or until the chicken is not pink inside.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut chicken skewers from the grocery store.
If you don't have orange marmalade, you can substitute apricot or pineapple preserves.
For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the skewers in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Orange chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
