Print Recipe

These grilled honey sriracha chicken skewers combine sweet and spicy flavors with juicy charred chicken and caramelized pineapple chunks for a quick and easy summer meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and pineapple into similar-sized chunks.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Add chicken pieces and pineapple chunks to the bowl, toss gently to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes up to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
  5. Thread marinated chicken and pineapple alternately onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and pineapple is caramelized.
  7. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve warm, optionally with a side salad or grilled vegetables.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Avoid marinating longer than 2 hours to prevent glaze sugars from burning. Turn skewers often for even cooking and grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. If glaze starts to burn, move skewers to cooler spot or lower heat.
