Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cut chicken thighs to the marinade, toss to coat fully, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread marinated chicken pieces onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with leftover marinade, until chicken is cooked through and edges have slight char marks.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. These skewers pair well with fresh salads or rice.
