Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 pound Chicken Thighs Juicy and tender; can substitute with chicken breasts.
  • 1/3 cup Honey Adds sweetness and caramelizes the chicken.
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce Provides smoky, spicy kick.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Adds depth; opt for gluten-free versions if needed.
For Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Sprinkle on top before serving.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs
  • Wooden Skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced chipotle peppers, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Cut the chicken thighs into 1-1.5 inch cubes, coat them thoroughly in the marinade, and let it refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  2. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Prepare the grill and equipment.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
  5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before sprinkling cilantro on top and serving.
