Smoked Chipotle Honey Chicken Skewers
These Smoked Chipotle Honey Chicken Skewers offer a blend of rich flavors that pair well with the smoke from your pellet grill or smoker with the diced chicken breasts.
Equipment
- 8 Wooden skewers
- Wood pellets apple, cherry, pecan, or maple
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- ½ cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 4 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp Chipotle chili powder
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- ½ tsp Salt optional
Instructions
- Soak eight wooden skewers in water, completely submerged for at least 30 minutes.
- Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces making sure they are large enough to thread onto the skewers.
- Thread each piece onto the wooden skewers. Make sure to leave a little space between each chicken piece.
- If you want to marinate your chicken, place them in a container, after slicing but before threading onto the skewers, with half of the sauce you'll prepare. Let the chicken sit for 30 minutes or several hours in the fridge.
- Whisk together honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, chipotle chili powder, chopped garlic, and optional salt in a small bowl.
- Once the sauce is prepared, use half as a marinade or all of it to baste the chicken during cooking.
- Set your pellet grill or smoker to 400°F.
- Add skewers to a hot grill surface and cook for about 45 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internal temp. Times will vary, so keep an eye on the food. Baste the chicken with sauce and turn the skewers every 10 minutes.
- Once done, remove them from the grill and serve hot.
