Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving space between each cube.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- In a separate bowl, mix honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Pour into the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water. Stir this into the sauce and cook until thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
- Brush the thickened sauce over the chicken skewers.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before grilling. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
