Grilled Maple Sriracha Chicken Skewers
Yeah, yeah, I do a TON of sweet and spicy recipes, my friends…but hey, I LOVE my sweet and spicy, as is the case with these Grilled Maple Sriracha Chicken Skewers!
And these can me made on your grill or Blackstone flat top griddle!
Summer grilling and griddling season will be gone before we know it, and I am taking full advantage of as much outdoor cooking and grilling as possible 🙂
How to make Grilled Maple Sriracha Chicken Skewers
So the marinade (and also the saucy glaze that gets brushed over while grilling) has just a few ingredients.
Maple syrup, sriracha (any brand since this one is apparently hard to find), soy sauce, garlic, and lime juice.
Just whisk it all together.
Then cut 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts) in bite size pieces.
And put them in a gallon size plastic bag for mess free marinating.
Put a few spoonfuls of this goodness in the bag with the chicken, massage the bag, and marinate in the fridge for a few hours.
Then put the chicken onto 4 kabob skewers.
And season with kosher salt and pepper.
Preheat the grill or Blackstone griddle to medium for a few minutes.
I do recommend well oil grill grates or griddle due to the stickiness of the marinade.
And cook these for 9 to 12 minutes total, flipping them a few times.
And brush with the rest of the maple sriracha sauce a few times as they grill.
If they stick while flipping, I recommend wiggling back and forth with tongs to loosen them.
That should do the trick 🙂
Garnish Grilled Maple Sriracha Chicken Skewers with sesame seeds and chives if desired.
These are full of flavor and require no sauce.
Unless you’re a sauce junkie like me…in which case I recommend a store bought yum yum sauce!
