1
8 skewers, each about 8-in. long
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water. Preheat barbecue and lightly oil grill. In a large bowl, stir soy sauce with sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic and hot pepper sauce. Cut chicken in 1/2-inch (1-cm) strips. Stir into soy sauce mixture until well coated. Thread chicken onto skewers.
Generously brush kebabs with baste. Barbecue with lid closed or covered with a foil tent. Baste often for the first 3 minutes. Turn often, without basting, until chicken feels springy, about 10 more minutes.
