Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Grilled Asian Chicken Skewers with Honey Garlic Sauce
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 400°F (200°C).
  2. Soak bamboo skewers and thread bite-sized chicken pieces onto them, leaving space for even cooking.
  3. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar into the sautéed garlic. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Add to the simmering sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  6. Grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, brushing with honey garlic sauce in the last few minutes.
  7. Remove skewers from the grill, let rest for a few minutes, and serve with extra sauce for dipping.
