Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers

Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers are a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls 
  • Whisk
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)
  • Grill or baking sheet
  • Basting brush

Ingredients
  

  • lbs chicken breast or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce low-sodium recommended
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ginger optional, grated or ground
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Wooden skewers soaked in water if using or metal skewers

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Marinade
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger (if using), and black pepper.
  • Marinate the Chicken
  • Place the chicken pieces into a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
  • Assemble the Skewers
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
  • Grill or Bake
  • Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing with any reserved marinade during cooking, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
  • Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Serve and Enjoy
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides.
