Triple Chili Honey Glazed Skewers
This sweet and spicy glaze pairs beautifully with smoky, flame-kissed proteins. The honey is utilized two ways: first to build flavor in a quick marinade, then applied at the very end of cooking to create a thick, glossy, caramelized finish.
Ingredients
- ✔ 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ✔ 3 tbsp Triple Chili Honey Drizzle
- ✔ 2 tbsp soy sauce
- ✔ 1 tbsp olive oil
- ✔ 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ✔ 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
Instructions
- Marinate the Protein: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the Triple Chili Honey Drizzle, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the cubed chicken or pork, tossing until completely coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water now to prevent burning).
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, alternating each piece with a chunk of red onion. Season the exterior of the skewers lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat an outdoor grill or a heavy cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Sear the Meat: Place skewers on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes per side for chicken (or 4 minutes per side for pork). Ensure distinct grill marks form and the meat is nearly cooked through before glazing.
- Glaze and Caramelize: During the final 2 minutes of grilling, use a pastry brush to generously coat the top side of the skewers with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Triple Chili Honey Drizzle. Flip onto the glazed side for 30 to 60 seconds until bubbling and slightly charred. Coat the reverse side, flip once more, and remove immediately from the heat.
- Rest and Serve: Let the skewers rest for 3 minutes. Just before serving, apply a light finishing drizzle of fresh honey straight from the bottle for a glossy, sweet-spicy presentation.
