Roasted Jalapeño Honey Chicken Skewer Ingredients

Roasted Jalapeno Honey Chicken Skewers Ingredients

  • 1 large jalapeño
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 lb. chicken (sliced into cubes)
  • 12 small jalapeños (sliced in half lengthwise & seeded)

Roasted Jalapeno Honey Chicken Skewers Instructions

Begin by roasting the large jalapeno on the grill or in the boiler of the oven.  Remove when the pepper is black and bubbling. Once cool, peel the skin from the pepper, seed and chop.

Place in a blender or food processor with the garlic, olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, cumin and ground ginger.

Blend until everything is well combined, then place in a small bowl.

Place the chicken on skewers with the jalapeños.  I placed two pieces of chicken, then one half jalapeño, and repeated this three times on 8 skewers.

Place on the grill over medium heat and baste with half of the jalapeno honey sauce.

Flip, then baste with the remaining sauce.

If you’re new to basting, it basically just means to brush the sauce onto the skewers while grilling.  It’s a quicker process then marinating, but still keeps the meat juicy and flavorful!

Grill for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Remove from the grill and serve.
