Instructions

Step 1 — Marinate the Chicken: Mix honey, chipotle seasoning, lime juice, and a bit of salt in a bowl. Cut chicken into small cubes and coat with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2 — Prepare the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.

Step 3 — Assemble the Skewers: Place marinated chicken on the skewers, along with bell peppers and onions. This adds color and taste.

Step 4 — Grill the Skewers: Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning them now and then. This ensures the chicken is cooked and has a nice char.

Step 5 — Serve and Enjoy: After grilling, let the skewers rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra honey chipotle sauce for dipping.

Notes

Marinate the chicken: Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. Or, marinate it for a few hours to soak up more flavors.
Use bamboo skewers: Soak bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes before grilling. This prevents them from burning.
Preheat the grill: Make sure the grill is hot before adding skewers. This ensures a good sear and prevents stickiness.
Check doneness: Chicken needs to be cooked to 165°F. Use a meat thermometer for precise results.
Serve with toppings: Have fresh toppings ready, like cilantro or lime wedges. They add a burst of flavor.
