Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Skewers:
  • - 3 lbs chicken thighs cut into cubes
  • - 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • - Wooden or metal skewers
For the Hot Honey Glaze:
  • - ½ cup Frank's RedHot sauce
  • - 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter
  • - ½ cup honey
For Garnish:
  • - Fresh chives chopped

Method
 

  1. Cut chicken thighs into uniform cubes and toss with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
  2. Thread seasoned chicken onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.
  3. Make glaze by melting butter in saucepan, then whisking in Frank's RedHot and honey. Simmer 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F) and oil the grates.
  5. Grill skewers 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Brush hot honey glaze over skewers during final 3-4 minutes of cooking.
  7. Rest skewers 2-3 minutes, then garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.

Notes

- Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts for grilling
- Soak wooden skewers 30 minutes before use
- Apply glaze during final minutes to prevent burning
- Internal temperature must reach 165°F for food safety
