Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating pieces.
- Grill the Kabobs: Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are slightly charred. Brush with reserved marinade during the last 2 minutes of grilling if desired.
- Serve: Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra heat, add crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- These kabobs can also be cooked under the broiler for 8–10 minutes, turning once.
