• 2 lbs chicken thighs boneless/skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

 

Chicken Skewers

• Add all ingredients (except skewers) to a resealable bag, seal and shake well to combine.

• If using wooden skewers soak in water for 60 minutes.

Spicy Guacamole

• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Char the jalapeños directly on a grill, gas stove burner or on a hot griddle pan. Remove jalapeños, place in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate. Let steam for about 5minutes. Using a paper towel wipe off charred skin, slice in half, remove seeds and finely dice.
• Place all ingredients into a molcajete (or bowl & fork) and mix to desired consistency

Grill the Chicken

• Place chicken pieces on skewers (3-4 pieces/skewers).
• Place skewers on grill. Cook 3-5 minutes/side until chicken is slightly charred and cooked through.
• Remove to platter and serve with grilled tortillas, guacamole and all your fixings.
• Suggested fixings: sour cream, chopped peppers, cherry tomatoes (halved), cucumber slices, chilies, chopped lettuce & purple cabbage, cilantro and tortilla chips… grilled corn optional but suggested!
