Honey Lime And Sriracha Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, from one lime
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2 limes
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Cilantro sprigs for garnish
- Limes, sliced into wedges, optional
Directions
- In a blender, combine the soy sauce, honey, oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha and salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour ½ cup of the marinade into a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (this will be your sauce).
- Trim the chicken thighs into 2-inch pieces.
- Combine the chicken and remaining marinade in a large Ziplock bag and seal tightly. Place in a bowl (in case of leakage) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers, folding the pieces in half if they are long and thin.
- Be sure the grill is clean, then preheat to medium-high heat.
- To grease the grill, lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated.
- Grill the chicken kebabs, covered, until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer the skewers to a platter.
- Warm up the reserved marinade in the microwave and either drizzle it over top or pass it alongside.
- Scatter the chopped cilantro over top and garnish the platter with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs, if desired.
- Pair with Thai Crunch Salad.
