Equipment

  • Skewers
  • large saucepan

Ingredients
  

Marinade Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 0.5 cup bourbon
  • wooden skewers

Instructions
 

Prep Ahead

  • Cut the chicken, if needed, and thread onto skewers. Transfer to a resealable bag or container.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a resealable container.
  • Store chicken and sauce ingredients in the fridge for up to 7 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Prepare From Prepped

  • Thaw ingredients as necessary.
  • Follow the instructions in Steps 3-6

Make From Fresh

  • Cut the chicken into long strips, then skewer. Set aside.
  • Combine the rest of ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the sauce to a large, wide saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Cook at a simmer for a further 10 minutes, until the sauce thickly coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add the skewers and turn in the sauce to coat.
  • Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Turn occasionally to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Remove the chicken skewers from the pan and set aside. Spoon any remaining sauce into a bowl to be used as a dipping sauce on the skewers.

Notes

Make sure you’ve got people standing around when you take these off the stove; you’ll want to eat the entire platter, sticky fingers and all.
