Creating Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers is a simple process if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but ideally for 1 hour to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced out evenly for even cooking.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
6. Baste While Cooking: If desired, reserve some marinade to brush on the chicken while it’s cooking for an extra boost of flavor.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Let Rest: Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or sesame seeds for a pop of color and flavor.
