Heavenly Honey Chipotle Skewers

Honey chipotle chicken skewers are all about balance: sweet and spicy, tender and smoky, with juicy chicken thigh and a sticky, charred glaze that keeps you reaching for one more. Made for grilling season, they're a crowd-pleaser at a backyard BBQ, an easy weeknight feed or a party platter, and they're just as good wrapped in soft tacos with guac as they are with a fresh herb salad. Bold flavours, fast.

Mix Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste with smoked honey, kecap manis, lime and mayo, then marinate diced chicken thighs for at least an hour (overnight is better). For a fiery twist, swap in Sweet Heat Co. Hot Honey or Gran Luchito Chipotle Lime Paste. Thread onto Hibachi Tabo flat skewers, keep the leftover marinade, and grill over medium heat (180–200°C) on Honeybrix charcoal, brushing on marinade every time you turn. They're done in about 12 minutes; check with a Thermapen ONE and serve with a dollop of The Feedlot Lot Sauce.

Pit notes

Marinate overnight. An hour works, but overnight gives the deepest flavour.

Baste every turn. Brush on the reserved marinade each time you turn the skewers to keep them juicy.

Mix it up. The Que Club tip: this marinade works on pork, beef, prawns, fish, meatballs or tofu too.

Ingredients

How to cook it

  1. Mix together the chipotle paste, smoked honey, lime juice, kecap manis and mayo.

  2. Add the diced chicken thighs, and allow to marinate for at least an hour, but overnight is better.

  3. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, reserving any leftover marinade.

  4. Grill over medium heat, turning as needed. Brush on the reserved marinade every time you turn the skewers to keep them moist. They should be done after about 12 minutes.

  5. Serve with an extra squeeze of lime juice, and a fresh herb salad, or in soft tacos with guac!
