Equipment

  • Immersion Blender
  • Wooden Skewers
  • Grill Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 1½ tbsp fresh lime juice from 1 lime
  • ½ tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp lime zest from half of a lime
  • 2 small garlic cloves peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce more, to taste, if you want it spicier
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Make the marinade by combining the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, oil, lime zest, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce in a bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until creamy.
  • Remove 2 tablespoons of marinade to a dish; set aside for later use.
  • Marinate the chicken by adding the pieces of trimmed chicken to the marinade; mix until evenly coated. Seal with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator to marinate for 6-24 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Thread the pieces of chicken onto skewers, folding the pieces in half if they are long and thin.
  • Heat a large grill pan that's been coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the chicken skewers by adding the chicken skewers to the HOT pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 8-10 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from the grill pan and place on a serving plate.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro sprinkled on top and the reserved marinade on the side.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy.
