Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup bourbon
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and bourbon. Whisk until well combined.
- Marinate the chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
- Skewering: Assemble the skewers by sliding the marinated chicken onto them, leaving space for even cooking.
- Preheat the grill: Fire up your grill to medium-high heat, waiting until it is hot.
- Grill the skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Glaze them up: Brush leftover marinade on the chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking for a sticky finish.
- Serve and savor: Remove from grill, let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot.
Notes
Pair with fresh herbs and sesame seeds. Try serving with coleslaw or cucumber salad.
