A base of seasoned oil in the marinade gives this grilled chicken a rich yet subtle flavour.

Ingredients

1-1/2 lbs (750 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut in 1-inch/2.5 cm cubes; 2 Cubanelle peppers, cut in 1-1/2-inch/4 cm squares; Half sweet onion, cut in 1-1/2-inch/4 cm squares
Marinade::: 3 tbsp (45 mL) peanut or vegetable oil; 4 tsp (20 mL) coriander seeds; 4 tsp (20 mL) black peppercorns; 4 dried hot peppers; 3 cloves garlic, smashed; 8 slices gingerroot; 1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce; 2 tsp (10 mL) Chinese black vinegar or balsamic vinegar; 2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil

Preparation

Marinade: In small skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat; fry coriander seeds, peppercorns and hot peppers until hot peppers darken. Add garlic and ginger; fry until garlic turns golden. Into large heatproof bowl, strain oil through fine sieve, discarding solids; let cool until warm. Whisk in soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil.

Stir in chicken, peppers and onion to coat; let stand for at least 30 minutes or, refrigerated, for up to 12 hours.

Alternately thread chicken, peppers and onion onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat until chicken is no longer pink in centre, about 12 minutes.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Serving(s): 4 to 6
