Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Cut into 1-inch cubes for easy threading and even cooking.
  • 10 pieces Bamboo Skewers Soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds a rich, creamy texture that enhances the overall flavors.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is essential for that aromatic punch that defines the sauce.
  • 1/2 cup Honey The sweetness helps balance the savory notes, making this sauce irresistible.
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Introduces a tangy kick that brightens the sauce's flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce A key component for that quintessential salty umami characteristic in Asian dishes.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Adds depth and a hint of molasses-like sweetness to the sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Thickens the sauce for a glossy finish, perfect for glazing the skewers.
  • 1/4 cup Water Use to adjust the thickness of the sauce to your desired consistency.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Medium saucepan
  • Bamboo skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If baking, set your oven to the same temperature.
  2. Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and thread them onto pre-soaked bamboo skewers, leaving small gaps between each piece.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar, simmer until thickened.
  4. Grill skewers for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Brush with honey garlic sauce in the final moments.
  5. Let the skewers rest for a minute before serving with extra honey garlic sauce on the side.
