Description

Delicious grilled chicken skewers coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water


Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or your oven to 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a small space between each cube.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Whisk in the honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water and stir into the sauce, continuing to cook until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Brush the thickened sauce over your chicken skewers.
  7. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with more sauce until the chicken is cooked through and evenly charred.

Notes

For richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a portion of the sauce for at least an hour before threading. Serve with colorful vegetables for added flavor.
