Kebabs get a bad rap. (Decades of alternating zucchini coins and cherry tomatoes can do that.) This spicy, sticky glazed chicken features sambal oelek, a bright and punchy chile-packed condiment, giving these grilled skewers a very convincing comeback.

Preparation
Step 1
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Whisk brown sugar, vinegar, chili paste, fish sauce, Sriracha, and ginger in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Remove chicken and thread 4 or 5 pieces onto each skewer.
Step 2
Transfer leftover marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half (about 1 cup), 7–10 minutes.
Step 3
Grill chicken, turning and basting often with reduced marinade, until cooked through, 8–10 minutes.
