Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Add 1 pound of 1-inch cubed chicken breast to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours.
Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
