Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced cilantro

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken thighs into bite-size pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine honey, avocado oil, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, ginger, paprika, kosher salt, and cornstarch.
  • Whisk to combine and pour over half the sauce over the chicken. The remainder of the sauce will be used to glaze the skewers while grilling.
  • Toss the chicken to coat in the marinade.
  • Let the chicken marinate for 45 minutes.
  • Thread a piece of chicken onto a skewer and repeat until you have finished using all of the chicken.
  • Discard any remaining sauce from the chicken marinade.
  • Meanwhile, preheat your grill on medium heat.
  • Grease the grill with a bit of oil using a paper towel or brush. 
  • Place the skewers on the grill and turn at least 3 times, each time basting the chicken with the remaining half of the unused sauce until fully cooked. This will take about 15  minutes. 
  • Transfer skewers to a serving dish.
  • Optionally, glaze one last time with any leftover sauce and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
