Description
Delicious and juicy grilled chicken skewers marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and sauces.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes to the skewers alongside the chicken.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, marinate the chicken with a tablespoon of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.
