Print Recipe

These grilled chicken skewers feature a sticky honey and sriracha glaze that balances sweet and spicy flavors perfectly. Quick and easy to prepare, they are ideal for summer gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before use)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes, keeping pieces uniform for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, lime juice, soy sauce or tamari, minced garlic, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Add chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  7. Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully to develop a char without burning the glaze.
  8. Optionally, baste skewers with extra marinade once or twice during grilling for a sticky glaze.
  9. Check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and juices run clear.
  10. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not marinate chicken for more than 2 hours to avoid mushy texture from lime juice acid. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Turn skewers gently with tongs to keep juices locked in. Control flare-ups by moving skewers to indirect heat if needed. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. If glaze starts to burn, reduce heat or move skewers to cooler grill area.
