Ingredients

– ½ cup honey
– ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
Creating these amazing Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers is a straightforward process. Follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil until well combined.
3. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for enhanced flavor.
4. Preheat Grill: Before cooking, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
5. Prepare Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Cook the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Make Extra Sauce (Optional): While the skewers are grilling, you can make an extra sauce by boiling the remaining marinade for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly. This can be used as a glaze or dipping sauce.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skewers from the grill, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve immediately.
Following these simple steps will ensure that your Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers turn out perfectly every time!
