Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/4 cup honey For sweetness and sticky finish
2 tablespoons sriracha Adjust heat to preference
2 tablespoons soy sauce For salty balance
2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh is best
1 tablespoon lime juice or rice vinegar To add brightness
1 tablespoon neutral oil Helps marinade coat chicken
1 teaspoon black pepper To taste
optional crushed red pepper For extra heat
optional smoked paprika For a smoky flavor

For the Skewers

1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs Preferred for juiciness, but breasts work too
8 skewers metal or wooden skewers Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes

Method

Preparation

Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks.
In a bowl, mix together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, oil, and pepper.
Add the chicken to the marinade and toss until coated; cover and chill for at least 30 minutes (2-6 hours is ideal).
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.

Cooking

Preheat your grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
Grill the skewers for about 10 to 14 minutes, turning every few minutes, until they have browned edges and are cooked through.
In the last 1-2 minutes, brush on additional boiled marinade or a fresh glaze of honey and sriracha.
Ensure any leftover marinade is boiled before using it for brushing.

Notes

Control the spice level by adjusting the amount of sriracha. Watch for burning as honey caramelizes quickly. These skewers can also be made indoors using a grill pan or broiler.
