Prepare easy and juicy chicken skewers with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect for grilling or cooking in the air fryer for a quick family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden ones in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the cubed chicken into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for basting and serving.
  3. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. If using wooden skewers, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. Discard the used marinade.
  5. To Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
  6. To Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C). Place the skewers in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with the reserved marinade during the last 2 minutes.
  7. Serve the hot chicken skewers immediately with the remaining reserved sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until it reduces slightly.
