Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
4 limes, 2 zested and 4 juiced (about 1/2 cup juice)
4 teaspoons sambal oelek (an Asian chili paste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 baby bok choy, halved or quartered lengthwise

Steps:

1. Prepare a grill with a medium fire on one side of the grill for direct and indirect grilling.
2. Combine the honey, lime zest, lime juice, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small pot. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until it just starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill skin-side down. Grill on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to indirect heat and cook covered, basting and turning with the sauce every 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
4. Pour 1 inch or more of water into a skillet or wok and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the bok choy in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Sprinkle the bok choy with salt and pepper. Set the steamer over the boiling water, cover, and cook until the bok choy is cooked but still has a little resistance when pierced with a paring knife, about 5 minutes.

The flavors of summer come alive in these colorful grilled kebabs, complete with a kick of heat from the Sriracha and sweetness from honey. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to using to prevent burning. Serve over rice and garnish with lime zest if desired.

Ingredients

¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
8 large metal skewers
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 red sweet pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
½ small fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon lime zest

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Whisk honey, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Thread chicken, red pepper, zucchini, pineapple, and red onion alternately onto skewers and place on a platter. Brush with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Arrange skewers on the hot grate. Close lid and reduce heat to medium. Grill until chicken is cooked through, turning skewers every few minutes, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush glaze on all sides of skewers during the last 2 to 3 minutes, turning to lightly caramelize glaze. Transfer to a serving platter and grate lime zest on top. Serve warm.
