HONEY-SRIRACHA CHICKEN SKEWERS RECIPE

Honey-Sriracha Chicken Skewers Recipe image

These chicken skewers are my take on buffalo wings. Instead of wings, I use thighs, and instead of buffalo sauce, I use sriracha topped with blue cheese crumbles to give it that extra salty, cheesy kick. These skewers are super quick and easy to throw on the grill. And because they're made with dark meat, they're extremely tender and flavorful.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
Handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Skewers (if wooden, soak for 20 minutes before grilling)

Steps:

CLEAN and oil the grill grates (I like to use the end of a cut onion dipped in olive oil to oil my grates) and preheat the grill to high.
IN a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sriracha, honey, and mustard until smooth. Set aside.
CUT the chicken thighs into small square pieces, 6 to 8 pieces per thigh. Put the chicken in a large bowl and season it with the paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and salt. Add the oil and mix to coat the chicken. Divide the chicken among the skewers.
GRILL the skewers until thoroughly cooked and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes on each side, lightly brushing the sauce over the skewers as they cook.
PLATE the skewers and top with blue cheese and parsley.

Tips:

Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy. The recipe in the article uses honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, but you can use any combination of ingredients that you like.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can still cook it, but it won't be as flavorful.
Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and become tough.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: The recipe in the article suggests serving the chicken with rice and broccoli, but you can serve it with any sides that you like.

Conclusion:

Honey sriracha chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful combination of honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, then cooked until it is tender and juicy. The chicken can be served with rice, broccoli, or any other sides that you like.
