- 4 garlic cloves, minced or grated (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

Directions: “Grilling Your Honey Lime Chicken Skewers”
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl or use a food processor.
Marinate chicken in half the marinade for 30 minutes to 12 hours. The remaining marinade can be thickened with cornstarch and used as a glaze.
Prepare your grill to medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces and pat dry. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally and basting with the glaze, until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes:
You can adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of Sriracha sauce. Don’t have a grill? These skewers can also be cooked in a grill pan or under a broiler.
