These sticky honey sriracha chicken skewers are the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. Quick and easy to make, they’re ideal for weeknight dinners or backyard barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into 1.5-inch chunks. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside 1/4 cup for basting.
  3. Place chicken chunks in a bowl or zip-top bag. Pour remaining sauce over them and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
  5. Thread 4-5 chicken pieces onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Grill skewers for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  7. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush reserved sauce onto the skewers. Flip and brush the other side. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Check internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  9. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Add glaze only during the last 2 minutes to prevent burning. For extra stickiness, apply a second thin layer of glaze after 30 seconds. Cut chicken pieces uniformly for even cooking.
