Lemon Chicken Skewers

This was one tasty appetizer, though we almost messed it up by putting in two tbsp of salt instead of sugar into the marinade. Oops. We tried to fix it by putting in FOUR tbsp of sugar, but I think it still came out a bit over-salted. Ah well. Now we know - don't replace sugar with salt! ;) Trang's recipe for the skewers as follows... We used a George Foreman grill, and the skewers came out great! (5 min. on one side, flip to other side for 3 min.)

Ingredients:
1 ½ lb chicken (thinly sliced)
2 TBSP oyster sauce
1 ½ TBSP granulated sugar
1 TBSP soy sauce
3 TBSP lemon juice
½T
BSP garlic (minced)
¼ tsp five spice
2 TBSP olive oil

Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients for marinade, then thoroughly mix in the chicken. Let sit for approximately 15 minutes before grilling. DO NOT marinate over night as the meat will lose its sweetness and flavor.

2. String marinated meat onto bamboo skewers and grill over high heat until cooked.
Top chicken with fried shallots and/or ground peanuts and lemon slices. Serve with rice or noodles, or by itself as an appetizer.
