Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1.5-inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Thread the chicken pieces onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
  3. Step 3: Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred, brushing occasionally with leftover marinade for extra glaze.
  4. Step 4: Remove from grill and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro over the skewers before serving warm.
