Why You'll Keep Making This
This dish combines bold flavors with tender, juicy chicken that melts in your mouth. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for a weeknight meal or a special dinner. The blend of spices creates a unique taste that everyone will enjoy.
Directions
Mix together the soy sauce, wine, lemon juice, oil, Italian seasoning, ginger, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag, and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 3 hours, or even better, overnight. When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high. Thread the chicken onto skewers and set them aside. Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil on the stove. Give your grill grate a light coat of oil to prevent sticking, then place the skewers on the grill. Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side, basting it a few times with the boiled marinade. It’s done when the juices run clear and the chicken feels firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast strips?
Yes, chicken thighs work well and may add extra juiciness. Adjust cooking time to ensure they’re fully cooked.
How long should I marinate the chicken for best flavor?
Marinate for at least 3 hours, but overnight is best to maximize flavor.
Can I grill without skewers?
Yes, you can grill the chicken strips directly on a grill pan or use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through.
Is it necessary to boil the leftover marinade before basting?
Yes, boiling kills any bacteria from the raw chicken, making it safe to use as a basting sauce.
What can I substitute for dry white wine in the marinade?
You can use chicken broth, white grape juice, or extra lemon juice as a non-alcoholic alternative.
How do I prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill?
Lightly oil the grill grate before cooking and make sure the grill is preheated to medium-high.
Can I prepare this recipe in advance for a party?
Yes, marinate the chicken overnight and thread the skewers just before grilling to save time.
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
The juices should run clear, the meat should be firm, and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is safe.
