# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro until fully combined.
02 -
Add chicken pieces to the marinade and stir gently to coat. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
03 -
Thread 8 to 9 pieces of marinated chicken onto each skewer, ensuring even spacing for uniform cooking.
04 -
Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350°F to 375°F). If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.
05 -
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 7 to 8 minutes per side, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is cooked through with a golden exterior.
06 -
Remove skewers from grill and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning during grilling.
02 -
Honey can be substituted with agave syrup for a different sweetener.
03 -
Sriracha is optional to adjust the spiciness to your preference.
04 -
This recipe works well with chicken thighs as an alternative to breast.
