Directions
1.
In a large resealable plastic bag set in a deep bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger. Add chicken strips. Seal bag and turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Thread chicken onto two 10- to 12-inch-long skewers. For a charcoal grill, grill skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning occasionally to brown evenly. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chicken skewers on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
