MAPLE AND SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Total time: 40 minutes

Makes: 4 servings

cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger or 3 medium garlic cloves, finely grated or both 2 tablespoons neutral oil

cup maple syrup

1 teaspoons sherry vinegar or cider vinegar

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, halved lengthwise

Sesame seeds, toasted or thinly sliced scallions or both

Stir together the soy, ginger and oil. In another bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of that with the maple syrup and vinegar. Toss the chicken with the remaining soy mixture. Heat the broiler with a rack 4 inches from the element. Scrunch the chicken onto metal skewers, then set on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until well browned, about 12 minutes, flipping once. Brush lightly with the soy-maple mixture, then broil until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Brush with remaining soy-maple mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
