Honey Sriracha Chicken Skewers

Spice Level: MediumJust 5 ingredients is all you need to make a marinade that doubles as a fantastic glaze for these skewers! Just 20 minutes of marinating time required. A great balance of sweet, spicy and savoury. 

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb / 750g lb / 750g chicken thigh fillets ((Note 1))
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard ((Note 2))
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves (, crushed)
• 2 - 3 tbsp sriracha OR any other hot sauce ((e.g. Frank's), adjust amount to your taste)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tbsp oil ((I used vegetable))

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken into 2cm / 4/5" cubes.

2. 2

   Mix Marinade ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.

3. 3

   Transfer 4 tablespoons of the Marinade into a small bowl ("Reserved Marinade", to use for basting).

4. 4

   Add chicken into the bowl with the remaining Marinade. Mix to coat and set aside for 20 minutes to marinade (up to overnight). (Note 3)

5. 5

   Thread chicken onto skewers, discard marinade in the bowl. I used 14 small ones about 18cm/7" long, 4 pieces of chicken on each.

6. 6

   Heat oil on a BBQ or skillet over medium heat. Place skewers on the BBQ and cook the first side for 2 1/2 minutes, then turn the skewers.

7. 7

   Baste the COOKED side that is now facing up generously with the reserved Reserved Marinade. After 2 1/2 minutes, turn the skewers and quickly baste the other side generously with the Reserved Marinade. Turn immediately. Cook for just a few seconds, then transfer to a plate. (Note 4)

8. 8

   Baste the skewers on the plate one more time with the Reserved Marinade, then serve.

   I served mine with Cilantro/Coriander Lime Rice (Note 5)
