Ingredients

• 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

5. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with a side of fresh salad or rice for a complete meal.

Final Tips

• Marinade Time: For the most flavorful chicken, marinate for as long as possible. Overnight is ideal, but an hour will suffice if you’re short on time.
• Vary the Veggies: Feel free to add some veggies like bell peppers, red onion, or cherry tomatoes onto the skewers for added color and flavor.
• Safety First: Always ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

Enjoy your Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers hot off the grill and revel in the compliments from your friends and family. Happy grilling!
