These Honey Soy Chicken Shish Kebobs are sticky, sweet, flavoursome, juicy, and everything you want in a grilled chicken kebob recipe – delicious! I have already made them twice this week. The beauty of these is that they are so easy and quick to prepare. I just cut the chicken into bite size pieces and marinate it before placing it on metal skewers and grilling over the BBQ. It is important to ensure the pieces are as consistent as possible in size. After marinating them for a few hours or overnight, they simply get thrown on the BBQ grill. Although marinating overnight is ideal, even just two hours is enough to get in loads of delicious flavour.
Yum, yum, yum! Mouth watering juicy flavoursome sticky chicken is hard to beat and the BBQ always brings out the best flavour. I personally use a Weber BBQ with the lid closed and it cooks the chicken beautifully. Thigh fillets are definitely the chicken cut of choice for these chicken kebabs. Of course you could use bamboo skewers, but you would need to soak them in cold water beforehand. I personally prefer metal skewers as they can be washed and re-used and you don’t need to worry about them burning. Enjoy!
