Description

These chicken skewers are a family favorite! Very easy, deliciously smoky, nice and sweet, with a good amount of spice and bite. Air fryer, grill, and oven-friendly!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • wood skewers (optional)

Honey Chipotle Mix:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (I like the Siete brand)
  • 1 orange, zest and juice (12 teaspoons zest and 1 tablespoon juice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Soak: Soak the skewers in water for 15-30 minutes while you prep the chicken.
  2. Mix: Using your hands or tongs, mix the chicken with the honey chipotle mix. It’ll look saucy and messy, in a good way.
  3. Skewers: Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers (usually I get 4 skewers with a pound of chicken).
  4. Cook Em Up: You can cook these a number of different ways – I air fry them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Grilling would also be amazing! Finish with a drizzle of honey, or (yum) 2 tablespoons of melted butter mixed with honey. It’s so good!

Notes

I don’t marinate the chicken, but I do usually let it sit for 10-15 minutes while I prep the other dinner elements. You can marinate the chicken for a few hours if you are making this ahead, or just go ahead with cooking if you’re ready!
