Hot Honey Glazed Chicken Skewers
These Hot Honey Glazed Chicken Skewers are my personal take on Thai sweet chili chicken! Succulent chicken thighs are marinated to perfection, air-fried, and coated in a zesty hot honey glaze. Charred to perfection, they're served with all your favorite sides. This sweet and spicy delight is a must-try!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
To Prepare the Chicken
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 thai chili minced
- ¼ cup fish sauce I used Red Boat Fish Sauce
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 4 skewers
To Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze
- ½ cup honey
- 2 thai chiles
- 8 garlic cloves
- 4 teaspoon fish sauce I used Red Boat Fish Sauce
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- In a bowl, add cubed chicken thighs, thai chili, Red Boat Fish Sauce, sugar, olive oil, and garlic. Mix to combine, cover and let marinade in the fridge for 45 minutes to an hour.
- In a large bowl, add water and skewers. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes.
- In a pan, add honey, thai chili, garlic cloves, Red Boat Fish Sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce until it thickens slightly and remove from heat. Reserve half to use as a dipping sauce and set aside. The other half will be used for basting.
- After the chicken is done marinating and the skewers are done soaking, begin tightly skewering the chicken, until all the chicken has been skewered.
- Preheat your air fryer for 350F. Add the chicken skewers to the air fryer basket so they are not overlapping. Air fry at 350F for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn the temperature up to 400F, flip the skewers, baste with the hot honey glaze and air fry for 2-4 minutes until slightly charred. Flip and baste the other side with the hot honey glaze and air fry for 2-4 minutes or until charred and the internal temperature reaches 165F. Serve with fresh herbs, veggies, and noodles or rice!
Notes
I chose to take my chicken off the skewer and serve it in a lettuce wrap with fresh herbs, noodles and veggies. However, you can serve yours any way you'd like! It would be delicious on a bed of rice with some fresh herbs and vegetables for a hearty dinner option.
