Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
Marinade
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy skewering.
- Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, stir well to coat all pieces, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
- Skewer the chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto soaked wooden or metal skewers, making sure to pack them evenly but not too tightly.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 205°C).
- Grill the kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to cook all sides evenly, until chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks.
- Serve: Remove from grill and serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust marinating time depending on schedule; marinating overnight will intensify the flavor.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
- Chicken thighs will provide juicier results compared to breast.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
