Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1 ½" cubes and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade until well combined.
  3. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken cubes, mix to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  4. Cover remaining marinade and refrigerate for basting later.
  5. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, aiming for 3 to 4 cubes per skewer.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium heat, approximately 350°F.
  7. Grill the skewers for 20 to 30 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes.
  8. Baste skewers with reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
  9. Remove the skewers from the grill, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve garnished with chopped green onions.
