Chicken skewers smothered in honey sriracha marinade - deliciously fun weeknight dinner! Preparing the marinade and chicken the night before will save you lots of time on a busy weeknight. It'll only take minutes to get dinner on the table.

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:

  • 2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast Note 2
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil spray
  • Chopped cilantro for serving
  • 12 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions
 

  • If using bamboo skewers, soak them in a water bath for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. This prevents the skewers from burning.
  • To make the marinade, in a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
  • To prepare chicken, cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Place the chicken in a ziplock bag, or a bowl, 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.
  • To cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a sheet of foil and drizzle olive oil.
  • Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, about 4-5 pieces on each, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes, turning half way through. Internal temperature should read 165°F.

Notes

Note 1: Adjust Sriracha amount to your taste. If you’re sensitive to heat, start with ½ tablespoon and go from there.
Note 2: You can use chicken thigh as well.
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.
Storing Instructions: Remove the leftover chicken kebabs from the skewers and place them in an airtight container. Then refrigerate for up to 2 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes, or air fry for 3-4 minutes at 370°F.
