Cooking Instructions:
First things first, let’s get those skewers ready. If you’re using wooden skewers, it’s crucial to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before you start. This prevents them from catching fire on the grill or in the oven, which is not only dangerous but also makes for a less pleasant cooking experience. Just fill a shallow dish or a baking pan with water and submerge your skewers. While they’re soaking, we can get started on prepping the chicken and that irresistible glaze.
Preparing the Chicken and the Glaze
Trim any excess fat from your boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You want nice, uniform pieces that will cook evenly. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch to 1.5-inch pieces. This size is perfect for threading onto skewers and ensures they cook through without drying out. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and the star of our show, the bourbon extract extract. Give this mixture a good whisk until everything is well combined and you have a glossy, aromatic glaze. Add your chicken pieces to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator if you have more time. The longer it marinates, the more flavor will penetrate the chicken.
Assembling the Skewers
Once your chicken has had a chance to marinate and your skewers are properly soaked, it’s time to assemble. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. This allows the heat to circulate around the chicken, ensuring even cooking and that lovely caramelization we’re aiming for. Don’t pack the chicken too tightly, as this can lead to uneven cooking and steaming rather than grilling. You should be able to get about 4-6 pieces of chicken per skewer, depending on the size of your chicken pieces and the length of your skewers. If you have any leftover marinade, don’t discard it! We’ll use this later to baste the skewers as they cook, intensifying the flavor.
Grilling or Baking for Perfection
Now for the cooking! You have a couple of excellent options here.
Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the reserved marinade. This is where the magic happens as the honey and bourbon extract extract begin extract to caramelize, creating that signature sticky glaze.
Baking: If grilling isn’t an option, don’t worry! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through. In the last 5-7 minutes of baking, brush the skewers with the reserved marinade and let them broil for a minute or two (watching them very carefully to prevent burning) to achieve that lovely sticky glaze.
The Final Glaze and Serving
Whether you’ve grilled or baked, the final touch is crucial. Once the chicken is cooked through and beautifully caramelized, remove the skewers from the heat. You can optionally brush them with a little extra of the reserved marinade (ensure it hasn’t touched raw chicken unless you’re cooking it on the grill and have brought it to a boil first) or a touch of additional honey for an extra sticky sheen. Let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness. Serve these Sticky Bourbon Extract Extract Extract Extract Chicken Skewers hot, perhaps with some rice, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables. They are truly irresistible, and you’ll be asked for the recipe every time you make them! Enjoy the rich, savory, and sweet explosion of flavors in every bite.

I love serving these skewers alongside a fresh, crisp coleslaw to balance the sweetness, or with grilled corn on the cob for a complete summer feast. They also make a fantastic appetizer for parties.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make the glaze ahead of time?
Absolutely! The glaze can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You may need to gently warm it before brushing it onto the chicken.
What if I don’t have a grill?
No problem! You can achieve a similar delicious result by baking the skewers in the oven. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with the glaze during the last 10 minutes. You can also use a grill pan on the stovetop.
How long should I marinate the chicken?
While the glaze itself provides a lot of flavor, marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator, will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat more deeply. Avoid marinating for too long, as the acidity in some glazes can start to break down the chicken texture.
