Make these easy chicken skewers for a fast weeknight dinner or your next summer BBQ. This recipe uses a simple honey garlic marinade for juicy, flavorful grilled chicken kebabs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak them for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the cubed chicken into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, for best flavor.
  3. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, drain them after soaking.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. Discard any remaining marinade.
  5. Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an air fryer chicken skewers option, cook at 380°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Serve these juicy chicken skewers over rice or alongside grilled vegetables for a complete family friendly chicken meal.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade before adding the raw chicken, then simmer it in a small saucepan until reduced and thickened, and brush it on during the last minute of grilling.
