Ingredients
– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
Follow these steps to prepare and cook your amazing Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s ready for the skewers.
4. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they are ready to go.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.
7. Baste with Marinade: During the last few minutes of cooking, brush some of the remaining marinade on the chicken for extra flavor.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to guarantee it’s fully cooked.
9. Remove from Heat: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
