directions
- To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside.
- To prepare kebabs, cut thigh meat into bite-sized pieces. Cut thick parts of onions into 1-inch pieces, discarding the leaves. (See comments for additional suggestions for skewers.).
- Thread pieces of chicken and onion alternately onto skewers, just 1-2 of each per skewer.
- Dip each skewer into the sauce until well coated; place on a broiling pan.
- Brush with additional sauce, and place under hot broiler, about 4-6 inches from heat.
- Broil until the sauce begins to blacken around high points of skewers, about 4-5 minutes.
- Brush again with sauce, flip and brush other side. Continue broiling for another 4-5 minutes or until just starting to char.
- Repeat if necessary until chicken is cooked through.
- Serve immediately. Discard any remaining sauce.
