Ingredients
Scale
Let’s start with the essentials. You’ll need just a handful of ingredients to make these skewers sing. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Feel free to substitute chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier result. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the fun part—cooking! Follow these simple steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and salt.
- Add chicken cubes to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. You’re looking for an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Remember, grilling is as much about feel as it is about time. Trust your instincts—if it looks and smells amazing, it probably is!
