  • About

Chicken is an easy crowd pleaser, and working with boneless chicken thighs means we can maintain the uniformity of the skewers, making cooking a breeze. We amp up the flavors here by marinating the boneless dark meat chicken with some ginger, green onions, and sesame oil. Then these suckers get smoky over a grill, slathered with our green onion oil and topped with an explosive amount of cumin, red chili powder, and just a tiny hit of Sichuan peppercorn powder.
