Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- ⅓ cup honey plus 2 TB more
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 2 TB Sriracha or more, depending on taste
- zest of 1 lime
- 3 TB freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tsp ground or freshly grated ginger
- ¼ tsp table salt
- Other: Oil for cooking freshly chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Thoroughly dry chicken with paper towel and pierce with fork throughout. Cut into 1-inch pieces; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all remaining ingredients into a well-combined marinade. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for later. Add chicken pieces to the bowl of marinade, turning to coat well. Marinade 2-3 hours, up to overnight, turning occasionally to re-coat if necessary.
- Thread marinated chicken onto pre-soaked skewers, discarding any used marinade. Coat grill with oil, heating over medium-high heat until hot. Place skewers on grill and cook until nice grill marks appear and center is no longer pink, approx. 2-3 min/side, basting occasionally with your 1/4 cup of reserved marinade.
- Serve immediately with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish, if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can also use boneless/skinless chicken breast, though they tend to dry out if overcooked. Chicken thighs are much more forgiving when overcooked.
- For gluten-free recipe, use tamari sauce instead of regular soy sauce.
- Chicken is delicious with Cilantro Lime Rice or Coconut Rice.
