Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 0.25 cup Honey Provides sweetness; substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle Chilies in Adobo Sauce Adjust quantity for less spice.
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Balances sweetness with acidity; lime juice can add a zesty twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium soy sauce for a health-conscious alternative.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Using fresh garlic boosts the taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin (ground) Omit for a milder flavor.
For the Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts/Thighs Cut into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Food Processor
  • metal or wooden skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine honey, chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground cumin. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate with half of the mixture in a sealed bag or bowl for at least 20 minutes in the fridge.
  3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F), ensuring grates are clean and oiled.
  5. Grill skewers for 2-5 minutes on each side, checking for a charred exterior and an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Let skewers rest for a few minutes after grilling, then serve with reserved honey chipotle sauce.
