- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger until combined.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, ensuring a thorough coating.
- Place seasoned chicken in the marinade, making sure all pieces are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (ideally up to 2 hours).
Grilling
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
- Cook skewers on the grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking until chicken is no longer pink inside.

Notes
For a different flavor, try adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers. If marinating overnight, the flavors will intensify even more.
