– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ¼ cup honey
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Creating Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Cut Chicken: Dice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
3. Make Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger (if using), salt, and pepper.
4. Marinate Chicken: Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
5. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high temperature.
6. Skewer Chicken: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. Be sure to leave a little space between each piece.
7. Grill Skewers: Place skewers on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove skewers from the grill and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll easily create delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers that are sure to impress.
