How to Make Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, Sriracha, smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
2. Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
3. Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates and grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
4. Make the Creamy Avocado Dipping Sauce
While the chicken is grilling, blend together the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Add a little water to achieve your desired consistency.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with the creamy avocado sauce on the side for dipping.
