Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. If you’re using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
5. Skewer the Ingredients: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of bell peppers, onion, and zucchini, if desired.
6. Cook the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice char marks. If using an oven, bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
8. Glaze with Marinade: During the last few minutes of grilling or baking, brush the skewers with additional marinade for an extra burst of flavor.
9. Remove and Cool: Once cooked through, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes.
10. Serve: Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
