Sesame-Miso Chicken Skewers

We love the way sesame oil and miso seem to breathe new life into even the most ordinary foods, especially when ginger and garlic come into the picture too. Try this chicken skewer recipe and see how this delicious combination--along with the Enameled Cast Iron Grill/Griddle--turns ordinary chicken thighs into a dish that’s both wonderfully savory and highly satisfying, with just a bit of char for extra flavor. You can serve these as an appetizer or as a main course, depending on how many people you want to feed.

Skewer the chicken

Thread the chicken onto each skewer, piercing through each strip twice to secure it. Slide the chicken up or down the skewer so it is evenly distributed with no very thick or very thin sections.

6 wooden skewers

June Pan

Position the skewers

With tongs, place the 6 skewers across the hot grill from right to left, leaving a little space between each skewer for air to circulate. Close the door. Grill the skewers 6 minutes. June will notify you when it is time to flip the skewers. When the June Oven stops cooking, press "Done" within the app or the check mark on the June Oven to continue.

Flip the skewers

Open the door. Working carefully, use tongs to flip each skewer, gripping from the center of each skewer to get a firm grasp and prevent chicken from sticking. Close the door.

Finish grilling the skewers

Grill the skewers 5 minutes longer, until they are cooked through.

Garnish and serve

Using tongs, transfer the skewers from the grill to the parchment-lined June Pan. Sprinkle the skewers with the additional sesame seeds, if desired, and green onions. Serve hot.
