Hoisin Chicken Kebabs are a delicious and easy dinner option that can be made on the grill or in the oven. The chicken is marinated in a savory blend of hoisin sauce, fresh ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar for added flavor and tenderness. These kebabs are perfect for summer cookouts and pair well with a variety of sides, such as vegetables, rice, or salad. Plus, they can easily be customized by adding extra spices or vegetables to the marinade.

Instructions

1.	Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
2.	In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, minced ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
3.	Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss until well coated.
4.	Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for more flavor).
5.	Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
6.	Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers.
7.	Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
8.	Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional) and serve immediately.
