🎆🍗 4th of July Bee Great Cajun Hot Honey Grilled Chicken Skewers
Smoky, juicy chicken skewers glazed with Bee Great Cajun Hot Honey — bold, spicy-sweet flavor perfect for backyard BBQs and fireworks.
🐔 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1.5” cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Glaze:
3 tbsp Bee Great Cajun Hot Honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)
🔥 Instructions
1. Marinate chicken:
In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours refrigerated).
2. Make the glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together Bee Great Cajun Hot Honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
3. Assemble skewers:
Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between pieces for even cooking.
4. Grill:
Preheat grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
5. Glaze & finish:
In the final 2–3 minutes, brush generously with the honey glaze and let it caramelize slightly. (Reserve extra glaze for drizzling when serving.)
6. Serve:
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve with grilled corn, watermelon salad, or a creamy slaw.
🎇 Festive Tip:
Thread skewers with red bell pepper, white onion, and blue potato chunks alongside the chicken for a patriotic look!
Serve with mini American flags on top for a fun display.
