Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut 12 oz chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and 2 cups sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Thread chicken and sweet potatoes alternately onto 8 metal skewers, pressing gently to secure.
  3. Step 3: Whisk 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger in a small bowl until combined.
  4. Step 4: Place skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with honey glaze, then bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway and brushing with remaining glaze until edges are caramelized and tender.
  5. Step 5: Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. The glaze should be shiny and stick to the skewers without dripping.
