Step 1Preheat the oven to broil.

Step 2In a large bowl, combine the cilantro, olive oil, red chili paste, soy sauce, garlic, onion powder, ginger, and black pepper.

Step 3Add the thigh meat. Toss to coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to marinate.

Step 4Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Skewer the chicken cubes, alternating with the onions and peppers between each piece.

Step 5Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest oven rack.

Step 6Lay the chicken skewers directly on the middle rack above the baking sheet, perpendicular to the rack. Cook for 3 minutes. Turn the skewers over and cook for 3 minutes more. Turn the skewers again, and cook for 4 minutes more. With a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature. When it reaches 165°F, remove from the oven to cool.
