Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Kebabs:
- 500–550g skinless boneless chicken breast meat
- Lime wedges to serve
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce (or more if you like it hotter)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut chicken into even-sized pieces and place in a Ziploc or vacuum sealer bag.
- Make Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients.
- Marinate Chicken: Pour half of the marinade into the bag with the chicken. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer or the displacement method (submerge the bag in water, displacing as much air as possible, before sealing).
- Cook in Instant Pot: Fill the Instant Pot to the 2/3 level with water. Submerge the sealed bag in the water, ensuring the seal is above the water level. Close the lid.
- Set Sous Vide Function: Set the Sous Vide function to 65°C (149°F) and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Finish Cooking: After the time is reached, remove the bag of chicken and thread the pieces onto skewers.
- Heat Remaining Marinade: Heat the remaining marinade in a small pot until it thickens. Add some of the liquid from the chicken to thin it down if necessary.
- Baste and Cook: Baste the chicken with the marinade and cook briefly over a fire or a griddle pan.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve kebabs with lime wedges.
Notes
- Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to your heat preference.
