SLAYER'S SWEET, TANGY, AND SPICY KABOBS



Slayer's Sweet, Tangy, and Spicy Kabobs image

I acquired both my nickname and the idea for this recipe while working at an awful franchised restaurant in my college years. These are great for Summertime cookouts at tailgate partys or just for get-togethers. The sauce is fairly versatile and can be used for an array of different meats and applications (I originally used the sauce for chicken wings). For people such as myself who have acid reflux I have indicated some ingredients that can be left out in order to help curb the heartburn.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  • Make sure the marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and spices like garlic, ginger, and cumin.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but for the best results, marinate it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it cook evenly without burning. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will likely burn on the outside before it's cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Honey spice chicken kabobs can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or grilled pineapple.

Conclusion:

Honey spice chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for summer grilling. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the honey spice marinade gives it a slightly sweet and smoky flavor. These kabobs are sure to be a hit at your next backyard party or barbecue.
