Print Recipe

These grilled chicken skewers feature a sweet and spicy honey sriracha marinade paired with a fresh, crunchy corn salsa, perfect for summer BBQs and quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears) or frozen and thawed
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken chunks and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour.
  3. While the chicken marinates, combine fresh corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, minced red onion, jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between chunks. Discard leftover marinade.
  6. Grill the skewers for about 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until nicely charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for a few minutes.
  8. Serve hot with a generous scoop of corn salsa on the side or spooned over the top.

Notes

Do not marinate chicken longer than 1 hour to avoid mushy texture. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Brush extra honey-sriracha sauce during last minute on grill for extra glaze but watch for burning. Use medium-high heat for best caramelization without burning.
