Recipe:
- In a bowl, combine the minced chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until well coated with the chipotle marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly charred exterior.
- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Pro Tip: For an extra kick of heat, reserve some of the chipotle marinade and brush it onto the chicken skewers while grilling. This will enhance the smoky flavor and add a touch of spice.
