For the Chicken Marinade

- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

For the Skewers

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat it in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with your chosen vegetables.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the skewers on the grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. For the oven, roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the skewers with leftover marinade for extra flavor.
Serving
- Let the skewers rest before serving. Enjoy with rice, a fresh salad, or dipping sauce.
Notes
For even cooking, cut chicken and vegetables into similar sizes. You can experiment with different marinades and add herbs for additional flavor.
