Chicken Kabobs (Sate Ajam)

This features the Indonesian combination of spicy-hot and sweet. Serve with Peanut Sauce.

2 large whole chicken breasts (about 2 pound)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed

Remove bones and skin from chicken breasts. Cut chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. It is easier to cut while partially frozen. Mix chicken, soy sauce, oil, brown sugar, ginger and garlic in glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours.

Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Thread 4 or 5 chicken pieces on each of 14 to 16 bamboo skewers. Brush chicken with reserved marinade. Set oven to broil or 550 degrees F. Broil skewers with tops about 4 inches from heat for 4 to 5 minutes; turn. Brush with marinade. Broil until chicken is done, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
