Sriracha Glazed Chicken Skewers with Peaches and Basil
- 8 whole Bamboo Skewers (You May Want To Double The Skewers For Extra Stability)
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced And Zested
- 1 Tablespoon Plus 2 Teaspoons Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha (Plus More For Serving)
- 1- 1/2 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 24 leaves Fresh Basil
- 2 whole Peaches, Pitted And Cut Into 16ths
- Start by soaking the bamboo skewers in a shallow dish filled with water for 30 minutes.
- (Do not skip this step people, or your skewers will catch fire on the grill, which is terrifying.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice and zest, honey and Sriracha.
- Briefly set aside.
- Cut your chicken breasts into approximately 1-inch chunks.
- Place them in a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over them.
- Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- (Obviously, the longer you let the chicken marinate the more it will soak up the glorious flavors, but 30 minutes will do in a pinch.)
- Once the chicken is marinated, its time to assemble the skewers.
- Remove the bag of chicken from the fridge.
- Thread a piece of chicken, followed by a basil leaf, and a peach segment onto a soaked bamboo skewer.
- (Fold large basil leaves in half before threading them onto the skewers.)
- Repeat this pattern about 3 times per skewer.
- (You should be able to get 4 pieces of chicken, 3 peaches, and 3 leaves of basil on each skewer, but you can do less if you prefer, okay?)
- Heat a clean, oiled grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- When hot add the skewers and cook, rotating occasionally until the chicken is cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
- Keep an eye on your skewers, please!
- The honey in the marinade burns easily, so you need to watch them carefully.
- If they start to brown too quickly, turn the heat down a little bit, okay?
- Remove them from the grill and serve em up!
