Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced)
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sriracha sauce
Salt to taste

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together minced chipotle peppers, honey, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Add the chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C).
Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces.
Grill skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste with leftover marinade halfway through cooking.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce made from mayonnaise and sriracha.
