Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing boneless and skinless chicken breasts into very thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
  2. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, chipotle chili powder, finely chopped garlic, and optional salt. Set aside a portion for basting later.
  4. Spoon the marinade evenly over the assembled skewers, ensuring every piece is nicely coated. Reserve some marinade for basting.
  5. Preheat the grill to high heat, around 400°F. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes and basting with reserved marinade.
  6. For an oven option, preheat to 400°F and arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 16-18 minutes, basting with marinade.
  7. For extra crispness, broil the skewers for 1-2 minutes after cooking, keeping a close watch to avoid burning.
  8. Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving with grilled veggies, fresh salad, or over rice.
