Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers
Succulent chicken cubes infused with a sticky honey garlic sauce, perfect for grilling or baking for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water for sauce thickening
For Skewering
- 10-12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes Soaking helps prevent burning while grilling
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thread chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving space between each cube.
Cooking
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to simmer.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve cornstarch in ¼ cup of water. Stir into the sauce until thickened and glossy.
- For grilling, place skewers on the grill, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. For oven, arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, broiling last 2-3 minutes after brushing with sauce.
- Let skewers rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra honey garlic sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature for safety.
