Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup honey (raw preferred)
2 tablespoons halal-certified hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 skewers (soak in water 30 minutes if wooden)
Instructions
Whisk honey, hot sauce, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make marinade
Add chicken and toss to coat; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
Remove chicken from marinade, discarding excess
Thread chicken onto skewers evenly
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F)
Grill skewers 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brown and chicken reaches 165°F
Brush glaze onto skewers during last 2 minutes of grilling
Let rest 5 minutes before serving
Notes
Substitute chicken breast for leaner option
Use maple syrup instead of honey for vegan version
Adjust hot sauce quantity to personalize spice level
Brush additional glaze on skewers for extra gloss
