A vibrant and flavorful grilled chicken recipe with a zesty lime marinade, perfect for any occasion.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Soaking the skewers ensures they don't burn during grilling.
Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into three strips.
Cutting the chicken into even strips ensures they cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, soy sauce, and finely chopped red chili. Reserve a small portion for basting.
Reserving some marinade for basting adds extra flavor during grilling.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating for longer enhances the flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is hot to achieve nice grill marks.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers.
Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers, turning every 2 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Basting during grilling keeps the chicken moist and flavorful.
Garnish with chopped spring onion, mint leaves, and coriander before serving.
Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor and color.
