Skewers of chicken with honey-chipotle sauce

My family loves these chicken skewers! Great amount of heat and bite, so this dish is not a hassle to prepare. Great smoky flavor to this dish. Feels comfortable in all three. Both the oven, grill and air fryer!

Ingredients

Chicken:

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

Honey Chipotle Mix:

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

Instructions

While preparing the chicken, marinate the skewers with water for about fifteen to thirty minutes.
Mix the chicken with the honey chipotle mix using your hands or tongs. It’s going to get saucy, really fun and it’s going to be very messy in a very fun way.

You will want to put those pieces of chicken onto skewers, and I typically end up with four skewers for every pound of chicken.

I air fry them at 400 degrees for ten minutes or until they are through, and the inside hits 165 degrees. You can make these in many ways. If you grill it, that would be fantastic! Honey may be drizzled on top, or two tablespoons of melted butter combined with honey may be placed on top (tasty). It is just wonderful!

Notes

I let it marinate for at least ten to fifteen minutes while I prepare the other components of the supper. If you’re going to make this some time ahead of time, you can marinate the chicken for a few hours, or you can just go ahead and cook it if you are ready to do so!

What works best for this dish is that it is rather elementary to make, yet delicious, without sacrificing one iota of elegance.

One reason that these skewers of chicken are so appealing is the simplicity and speed at which they can be prepared.

Because they are easy to consume, skewers are perfect for casual dinner parties as well as special events which would encourage a sense of camaraderie around the dinner table.

Nor must one belittle this dish’s nutritional value.

It is excellent for people who would want to engage in rich flavors without compromising their health.

To put it in other words, honey-chipotle chicken skewers are not just something to eat; they’re an adventure with lots of flavors and the most irresistible scent.
