Directions

  1. Prep the Chicken
     Bring the chicken to room temp for 15–20 minutes. Cut into even 2-inch chunks and toss thoroughly with Cajun seasoning until every surface is coated.
  2. Skewer the Chicken
     If using wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes. Thread 4–6 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, leaving small gaps so the heat can circulate.
  3. Make the Honey Sriracha Glaze
     In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in sriracha and honey until smooth and glossy. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. Preheat the Grill
     Heat grill to 375–400°F (190–205°C). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the Skewers
     Place skewers on the grill and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes until nicely charred and nearly cooked through (165°F internal temp).
  6. Glaze & Finish
     During the final 3–4 minutes, brush generously with the honey sriracha glaze. Let it bubble and caramelize lightly, turning once more for even coating.
  7. Rest & Serve
     Remove from the grill, rest 2–3 minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with extra glaze on the side.

*Notes : 

  • For deeper caramelization, glaze twice: once on the grill, once right before serving.
  • If the glaze starts to burn, move the skewers to indirect heat — honey scorches fast.
  • Works beautifully with chicken breast as well; just reduce cooking time slightly.
