Description
Juicy chicken skewers glazed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for grilling or indoor cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts), cut into 1-inch cubes
- Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill/Oven: Prepare your grill, heating it to medium-high, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for indoor cooking.
- Prepare the Chicken: Thread chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving about 1/2 inch between pieces.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute). Whisk in honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup water, mixing well, then stir this into the sauce. Keep cooking until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes), then remove it from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken Skewers: Place skewers on the grill or a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even charring and coating with honey garlic sauce, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Notes
Customize with colorful vegetables or spices for added flavors. Ensure chicken is uniformly cut for even cooking. Serve with sides like rice or slaw.
