Enjoy tender, flavorful grilled chicken skewers glazed with a sweet honey-lime marinade, perfect for summer barbecues or quick weeknight dinners.
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.
