Spicy Sriracha Chicken Skewers
5/5
Spicy Sriracha Chicken Skewers are a delicious and fiery twist on traditional grilled chicken. The marinade combines the tangy and spicy flavors of Sriracha sauce with the sweetness of honey and the brightness of lime juice. The result is a flavorful and tender chicken with a kick of heat. These skewers are perfect for a summer barbecue or as a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Serve them with a cooling dip or a side of rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce according to your preferred level of spiciness.
- If you like a sweeter taste, you can increase the amount of honey or maple syrup in the marinade.
- For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the cooked skewers before serving.
- Make sure to oil the grill grates before cooking to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- If you don’t have access to a grill, you can also cook the skewers in the oven under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan.
- Serve the Spicy Sriracha Chicken Skewers with a cooling dip, such as a yogurt-based sauce or a cucumber raita, to balance the heat.
