Spicy Asian Chicken Kabobs
I sort of have to sneak anything that might be remotely close to Chinese food onto the table. However, my daughter loves chicken on a stick. So, when I made these spicy Asian chicken kabobs, I left off the simple fact that it might be a smidge close to Chinese. I figured I could tell them once they loved them!
Spicy Asian Chicken Kabobs
I made two versions of the spicy Asian chicken kabobs. One with a marinade from scratch with a few simple ingredients.
And one with a bottle of Panda Express Orange Sauce
. If you don’t have orange sauces, you could definitely make teriyaki chicken kabobs by marinading in your favorite bottle of teriyaki sauce.
I cut 2 pounds of chicken breast up in two-inch pieces, split them in half and put into two Ziploc bags. Then I mixed together 2 parts balsamic vinegar to 1 part honey and 1 part sriracha hot chili sauce together.
Pour the spicy marinade over one bag of chicken. At the last minute, I also pressed to cloves of garlic into the bag of chicken and marinade also.
I poured about 1/2 cup of the orange sauce over the other bag of chicken. Refrigerate for a few hours. About 30 minutes before grill time I grabbed some veggies out of the fridge and chunked them up. I used a red bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Use what you have on hand.
Once the veggies are cut into chunks, pull the chicken out and put the veggies and chicken on stainless steel shish kabob skewers to make these spicy Chinese Chicken Kabobs
. I start with a pepper closest to the handle followed by a piece of chicken and two pieces of veggies and then chicken again. I like every piece of vegetable to be touching the chicken.
Don’t discard the homemade spicy Asian marinade. Instead, pour into a small pan and reduce over a medium-low heat to make into a glaze.
Sprinkle the spicy Asian skewers with sesame seeds and they are ready to hit the grill.
Spread sauce on the kabobs before putting on the grill.
Grill on a medium-low heat, turning every 6-7 minutes till chicken and veggies are cooked through. Then remove from the grill and enjoy!
Serve over rice or alone. Either way, make sure you have extra sauce to dip everything into while you eat.

I love a good kabob and these look great! Great choice of marinades. Thanks for hosting this hop! Have a great week!
Ummm.. I bet they were delicious!!!! Thanks for sharing.
giggle … that made me laugh about the chinese food ๐ Great job on the marinade, I think I may need to duplicate that … and just remembered that I need to dig out my stainless skewers … the bamboo ones freaked me out the last time I was threading meat as they were slivering a bit … ummm… tossed the skewers aside and just cooked on a grill skillet on the gas grill instead … (everything was already cut up to skew …)
