These honey-sriracha chicken skewers offer a perfect balance of sweet heat and savoury depth. This dairy-free dish uses succulent chicken thighs, which remain tender and juicy under the high heat of the grill. The glaze, a punchy combination of spicy sriracha and mellow honey, caramelises beautifully to create a sticky, charred finish that is hard to resist.
Ideal for a quick midweek meal or a relaxed weekend barbecue, these skewers are a fantastic high-protein option for any occasion. The addition of tangy blue cheese and fresh flat-leaf parsley provides a cooling contrast to the spicy glaze. Serve them alongside a crisp green salad or some toasted pitta bread for a complete and satisfying homemade dinner.

Ingredients for Honey-Sriracha Chicken Skewers
45ml rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoons granulated onion
1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
60ml crumbled blue cheese
Handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Skewers (if wooden, soak for 20 minutes before grilling)
How to make Honey-Sriracha Chicken Skewers
CLEAN and oil the grill grates (I like to use the end of a cut onion dipped in olive oil to oil my grates) and preheat the grill to high.
IN a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sriracha, honey, and mustard until smooth. Set aside.
CUT the chicken thighs into small square pieces, 6 to 8 pieces per thigh. Put the chicken in a large bowl and season it with the paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and salt. Add the oil and mix to coat the chicken. Divide the chicken among the skewers.
GRILL the skewers until thoroughly cooked and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes on each side, lightly brushing the sauce over the skewers as they cook.
PLATE the skewers and top with blue cheese and parsley.
