Ingredients

Meat

  • 2.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 6 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1.5 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1.25 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

Lime wedges

Instructions 

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender or bowl, whisk until smooth.
  • Marinate chicken in half of the mixture for 30 minutes at room temperature or 6-12 hours refrigerated.
  • Stir cornstarch into remaining marinade to make glaze; heat until slightly thickened.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high; soak wooden skewers in water if using.
  • Thread chicken onto skewers, grill 9-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
  • Rest skewers 4-5 minutes, then serve drizzled with glaze and garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

Omitting lime juice during marination prevents the acid from breaking down the chicken fibers.
