Prep Time: 20 minutes (or as little as 5 minutes)
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 700g chicken thigh fillets, cut into chunks
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Juice of 1 lime
- Small drizzle of sesame oil (optional)

Method
- In a large bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, garlic, lime juice and sesame oil.
- Add the chicken chunks and stir until well coated.
- Leave to marinate for around 20 minutes if possible (even 5 minutes will add plenty of flavour).
- Thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Preheat your BBQ or grill to a medium-high heat.
- Cook the skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning regularly until the chicken is cooked through, sticky and lightly charred.
- Serve hot with your favourite BBQ sides.
Serving Suggestion:
Perfect with flatbreads, rice salad, charred corn or a cooling yoghurt and mint dip.
Top Tip
Keep a little of the marinade aside before adding the raw chicken, then brush it over the skewers during cooking for extra flavour and a glossy finish.
