Sriracha, Honey & Lime Chicken Skewers

Course Main Dish, Platter
Cuisine Modern Australian
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest from one lime
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice from 2 limes
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 piece thumb sizedfresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 kg boneless skinless chicken thighs trimmed and cut into 5cm chunks
  • 2 tablespoons chopped coriander plus a few whole sprigs for garnish
  • Limes sliced into wedges, for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, combine the soy sauce, honey, oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha and salt. Blend until completely smooth. Pour 1/2 cup of the marinade into a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (this will be your sauce).
  • Combine the chicken and remaining marinade in a large Ziplock bag and seal tightly. Place in a bowl (in case of leakage) and marinate in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers, folding the pieces in half if they are long and thin.
  • Be sure the grill is clean, then preheat to medium-high heat. To grease the grill, lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. Grill the chicken kebabs, covered, until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. (Keep an eye on it - if they are browning too quickly, turn the heat down.)
  • Transfer the skewers to a platter. Warm up the reserved marinade in the microwave and either drizzle it over top or place it alongside. Scatter the chopped coriander over top and garnish the platter with lime wedges and coriander sprigs.
