Makes 4 servings
Ready In 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients

For sauce:

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha, Note 1:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon freshly grated ginger, or fresh ginger paste
  • 4 garlic cloves, pressed

For chicken:

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or olive oil spray
  • Chopped cilantro, for serving
  • 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Instructions

  • To make the marinade, in a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
  • Cut the chicken into small cubes, about 1-inch.
  • To marinade the chicken, place the chicken in a ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible and zip the bag. Marinate for at least an hour, or overnight in the fridge.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the skewers from burning.
  • To cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Thread the marinated chicken cubes in the skewers, about 4-5 pieces on each.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil, drizzle olive oil and arrange the chicken skewers on it.
  • Bake the chicken skewers until fully cooked, about 15 minutes, turning half way through.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Note 1: Adjust Sriracha amount to your taste. If you’re sensitive to heat, start with ½ tablespoon and go from there.
Grilling Instructions: Preheat the grill to medium high. Place the skewers on grill, and cook until chicken is cooked through, turning them frequently with a kitchen tong, 15-20 minutes.
