These grilled honey-sriracha chicken skewers offer a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors, ideal for quick and easy summer BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, grated ginger, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Add chicken pieces to the marinade, toss to coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  3. Cut bell peppers and onion into uniform chunks while the chicken marinates.
  4. Thread marinated chicken pieces, bell peppers, and onion wedges alternately onto soaked wooden or metal skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes and brushing with reserved marinade, stopping basting during the last 2 minutes. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  7. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Use chicken thighs for juicier results. Adjust sriracha to taste for desired heat level. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Avoid crowding skewers to ensure even cooking. Use a spray bottle to control flare-ups caused by honey.
