Equipment

- baking sheet (if baking)
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce adjust to taste for spice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- chopped green onions
Instructions
Marinade Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or your oven to 400°F (200°C), or an air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers.
- If grilling, cook skewers 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through; if baking, place on parchment-lined sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway; if air frying, arrange in a single layer and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
Serving
- Remove skewers from heat, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For even cooking, cut chicken pieces into uniform sizes. Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
