Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro or green onions

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade by whisking together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic in a medium bowl until glossy and fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken thigh cubes to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  3. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch chunks, keeping them similar in size to the chicken.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning (if using wooden skewers).
  5. Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper pieces, and onion chunks alternately onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  7. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Remove kabobs from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption. Adjust sriracha to control heat level. If glaze burns too quickly, lower heat or move kabobs to indirect heat. Cutting chicken and veggies to similar sizes ensures even cooking.
