Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat (approximately 375-450°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken cubes in a separate bowl and pour the garlic mixture over them, tossing to ensure each piece is evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In another bowl, toss the green bell peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. This will help them caramelize beautifully on the grill. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Thread the chicken, green bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a visually appealing and flavorful combination. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C). (15-20 minutes)

06

Step

During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with hot honey, basting them generously. This will create a delightful caramelized glaze. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the skewers from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with additional hot honey, if desired, and sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) before grilling to enhance its flavor and tenderness.
If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, use regular honey and add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serve these skewers with a side of couscous, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
