Description
Bright, sticky, and loud with flavor, these Honey Sriracha Chicken Skewers hit sweet and spicy notes while caramelizing beautifully over direct heat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 60 ml honey
- 60 ml Sriracha
- 45 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml lime juice
- 30 ml neutral oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 9 g)
- 10 g kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional: toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 2.5 cm (1-inch) pieces. Brine in 480 ml (2 cups) water with 15 g (1 tbsp) kosher salt for 15 minutes; rinse and pat dry.
- Whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, neutral oil, and minced garlic. Reserve some glaze for finishing and marinate chicken for 20–30 minutes.
- Thread the chicken pieces snugly onto skewers, leaving space between them for heat circulation.
- Preheat grill to high heat (about 220–260°C / 430–500°F). Oil the grate and grill skewers for 3–4 minutes per side until charred and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Transfer skewers to a plate and let rest for 3–4 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions before serving hot with lime wedges.
Notes
Ensure to avoid over-marinating as it can make the chicken mushy. For the best texture, marinate for 20–30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure proper doneness.
