# How-To Steps:

01 - Whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, chili sauce, vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.

02 - Add chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor penetration.

03 - If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

04 - Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, shaking off excess marinade. Reserve leftover marinade for basting.

05 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

06 - Grill chicken skewers for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with reserved marinade, until cooked through and lightly charred.

07 - Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with cilantro or parsley, sesame seeds, and fresh lime juice. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -

The honey creates these gorgeous caramelized spots that make the chicken look like it came from a restaurant kitchen
That spicy sweet glaze gets into every nook and corner so each bite is packed with flavor

02 -

Letting the skewers rest for a couple minutes off the heat helps the juices redistribute so they stay incredibly moist
Do not skip basting with the leftover marinade during the last few minutes of grilling

03 -

Cut your chicken into uniform pieces so everything finishes cooking at the same time
If the glaze starts getting too dark before the chicken is done move the skewers to a cooler part of the grill
