Equipment
Ingredients
For the Honey Orange Dijon Sauce
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey (omit for Whole30)
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (from about 1 medium orange)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 tbsp minced fresh sage
For the Honey Orange Dijon Chicken Skewers
- 6 10-inch bamboo skewers presoaked
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs excess fat trimmed, and cut into 1-inch chunks
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine the mustard, honey, orange juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and sage, whisking or shaking until well combined.
- Place the cubed chicken in a bowl. Add half the sauce and marinade for at least an hour, or all day in the refrigerator, covered.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Thread onto bamboo skewers. Discard extra marinade.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400F). When the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and grill marks have formed.
- Serve with remaining sauce, atop rice, and slaw if you prefer.
Notes
- Rosemary would work in place of sage
- Chicken breasts work in place of thighs, though will be drier
