Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the grill grates or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and thread onto soaked bamboo skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar, then simmer for 3-5 minutes. Thicken using a cornstarch slurry.
  4. For grilling, place skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side and basting with sauce in the last few minutes.
  5. For baking, arrange skewers on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, brush with sauce, then broil for 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
  6. Let cooked skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving with leftover honey garlic sauce.

Notes

Marinate chicken in half of the honey garlic sauce for enhanced flavor. Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F for safety.
