Ingredients

Chicken:

• 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

• wood skewers (optional)

Honey Chipotle Mix:

• 1 1/2 tablespoon honey

• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, minced

• 1 clove garlic, grated

• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (I like the Siete brand)

• 1 orange, zest and juice (1–2 teaspoons zest and 1 tablespoon juice)

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Directions

1. Soak: Soak the skewers in water for 15-30 minutes while you prep the chicken.

2. Mix: Using your hands or tongs, mix the chicken with the honey chipotle mix. It’ll look saucy and messy, in a good way.

3. Skewers: Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers (usually I get 4 skewers with a pound of chicken).

4. Cook Em Up: You can cook these a number of different ways – I air fry them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Grilling would also be amazing! Finish with a drizzle of honey, or (yum) 2 tablespoons of melted butter mixed with honey. It’s so good!

Notes

How can I make these in the oven if I don’t have an air fryer or grill?

Broil near the top of the oven for 10-12 minutes. With this method, you will get a nicer, more even browning if you use chicken thighs, but either can work!
