Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs

Have tried this recipe 3 - 4 times over the past year with different cuts of chicken, etc. The absolute best way is to buy chicken thighs (bone in) and marinate for a minimum of 24 - 30 hours. I make batches of them and put 10-12 pieces in the fridge at a time. My family uses them as "grab and go's". Wonderful recipe!!!

5+++! These kabobs were SO tender & flavorful. I marinated them all day using low-salt soy sauce, canola oil, the honey, black pepper, & fresh minced garlic. Added just a touch of cayenne pepper to the marinade and it was great! Doubled the marinade as I did not want my veggies marinating in the same mixture as the chicken. To grill, on one skewer, used red & orange bell peppers, and a red onion, as that is what I had on hand and these required different cooking times than the meat and other veggies used. On another skewer, did zucchini, grape & cherry tomatoes from our garden. And on another, used pineapple chunks. Thank you, Ann Marie!

This is a very tasty and versatile recipe! I haven't had any trouble with lack of flavor; in fact, the other night I made this last minute and it only marinated about 30 minutes and was still delicious. The kabobs are great, but one of my favorite ways to use this is as a sandwich: leave the chicken breasts intact, or cut in half to fit a hamburger bun. Otherwise, follow the recipe for marinating the chicken (I did put the garlic and onion in the marinade for flavor). Serve on a bun (I prefer whole wheat) with swiss cheese melted on top, honey mustard, and toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc). Yum! If you make extra chicken, try the leftovers sliced on a salad for lunch the next day.

I used this mix with a stir fry! It was wonderful on top of chicken fried rice! I placed the chicken strips in a bowl with the marinade and then place the whole thing in a wok and let it cook together, then drained 3/4 of the marinade and cooked for 5 minutes and served on top of rice, AWESOME!

We had a BBQ for July 4th and decided to serve these for something a little different. They were a hit!! People are still talking about them 2 months later. We marinated shrimp in addition to the chicken and added pineapple to the skewers. They were fabulous.

These were fabulous! We only had time to marinate the chicken for two hours, but that was plenty of time, as they gained plenty of flavor. We also grilled the kabobs on a little skewer rack that kept them from directly touching the grill. It took a little longer to cook this way (just over 15 minutes), but it also kept them from sticking. We used onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms, and these were the best skewers we've ever made on our grill! We'll definitely have them again - the marinade just makes the dish!

This recipe was just fantastic! I didn't have soy sauce so I used Yoshida's marinade instead and the results were just awesome. A slightly sweet, teriyaki flavored marinade. Even my 3 year old ate the chicken. My husband who is the pickiest human alive absolutely loved it. Thanks for a great summer recipe!

I added extra garlic and a tsp of ginger and marinated for three hours. I think they needed longer time in the marinade for more flavor. Next time I will try overnight. They were delicious, and will make often this summer.

Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!! It's been a family favorite for a couple of years now. We like to use zucchini, mushrooms, onions, peppers and chicken, which we douse with a hearty dose of salt, pepper and garlic powder before adding to the marinade. When I'm not in the mood to skewer, I place the meat and veggie chunks on a broiler pan covered with foil and cooking spray, then broil on high 5-7 inches from the flame for app. 7 minutes on each side, or until chicken is done. You can also separate the veggies from the meat and broil separately if you feel one needs more time than the other. If you pound them flat (1/2 -3/4 inch thickness) before marinading, whole boneless chicken breast halves also take around 7 minutes to broil per side. This is a great alternative to my charcoal grill in the middle of the winter. In fact, we're having it tonight!

Was a good recipe, but even after marinating overnight, not enough flavor for us. Made it Asian style by cooking it in a wok, then added broccoli and peppers and served with rice. Next time will keep a lot more sauce aside to top at the end. With the extra sauce, it will probably be a 4 star recipe!

WONDERFUL flavoring!! I did not have time to marinate them, so I baked them at 350 for about 20 minutes. Every 5 minutes I rotated them and you'd never know that hadn't been marinated! I cannot wait to make these again!

Using a low sodium soy sauce will help cut down the salt for those who think it might be to salty...enjoy

Oh my god! This chicken was fantastic! I just cooked the chicken on top of the stove with sliced onions and green bell peppers and let it simmer for 10 minutes after it was done...all i did was add a little more honey....thanks soooo much for this recipe!!!

So I'm not crazy about cutesy titles like "Yummy". I may have even rolled my eyes a little. But, "Yummy!" was all I could say when I tasted this chicken! I only marinated the chicken for about 30 minutes due to time constraints, so I can't imagine how heavenly it would be after marinating all day long. I skewered the vegetables separately because my kids didn't want veggies to touch their chicken. They were actually done at the same time as the chicken. As other reviewers suggested, don't forget to add some pineapple! I added it to some of the chicken skewers, and I'll definitely do it again next time... Yummy!!

This was so good. We added a can of pineapple rings with it's juice to the marinade and omitted the oil all together. Very simple marinade with great results.

I liked the recipe, but a similar recipe I have calls for equal part lemon juice, and is delicious. I also use olive oil instead of veg. oil to make it a little healthier.

Wow. These are FABULOUS! These are my new favorite chicken kabob recipe. So good. And I even actually followed the recipe (minus the black pepper, of course)!! The only change I made was to double the marinade (would have been ok w/original or 1/2 more, though) and I added yellow and orange bell peppers to the kabobs. I served these w/Brazilian Rice from here and that was a perfect combo. So good, have I mentioned that yet? And I'm not a huge chicken fan, I could take it or leave it, but I ate all of these. Try these; you won't be disappointed! THANK YOU for a great recipe!!

Chicken was tender and juicy. The honey provided a nice touch of sweetness.

This recipe was a huge hit with my family. At family BBQ's everyone always looks for it. The marinade is so versatile and I have used it successfully with beef and shrimp. This is already a family favorite.

Wow! This was awesome! I got so many compliments on this recipe - everyone said they were the best kabobs they had ever had. I used half light soy sauce and half really dark/strong soy sauce. I also crushed the garlic (I use 3 cloves) and some fresh ginger into the marinade. The extra garlic & ginger were a delicious touch - I highly recommend trying them. Great recipe!

Wow! These are amazing! For years I've been trying to find that perfect flavor for grilled chicken, and these have it! I think this would be great for pork kabobs too. And so easy. I can't wait to have a grill party to show off this great recipe. Thank you very much!

UPDATE: I guess my taste buds have either matured or changed, because I now rank this as one of the BEST kabobs I've EVER eaten! This time, I marinated two large chicken breasts (one per person), zucchini, red onion and red / orange bell peppers. I didn't separate my meat / veggies since my hubby has a handy ThermoWorks Thermapen to tell him exactly when everything is cooked thru. I halved my marinade between two Zip-Lock baggies (one for meat and one for veggies) and then strained the veggie marinade to use for basting. I can't WAIT to try this as a sandwich (with Swiss and honey mustard) or in a stir-fry! SOOOO GOOD!!! I guess I'm in the minority here, but I didn't care for these at all. On the flipside, my hubby liked these quite a bit. My biggest gripe is that there just simply isn't enough marinade to coat everything. I halved this, but ended up making the full amount of marinade. I also NEVER marinate my raw meat and veggies together (my gosh...). Since I ended up making double the amount of marinade called for, I used half of it to baste while grilling and divided the remaining half to marinate my meat / veggies with. I also took some liberty with what veggies (and fruit!) I used - a yellow / orange bell pepper, a sweet onion and some FRESH pineapple chunks. Threading my veggies and chicken / pineapple on separate skewers ensured that my veggies wouldn't overcook. Steamed rice rounded out our simple meal. Thanks for sharing, Ann Marie.

This is a great recipe with in the cupboard ingredients. I marinated half of it for 4 hours and it was pretty good. The other half I marinated for 24 hours and it was wonderful.

LOVE this! Tried it last night before my son's first birthday party in May and couldn't be happier! Did follow others suggestions of doubling the marinate so I had enough to brush on while grilling (marinated chicken and veggies in seperate bags). I used canned pineapple chunks and it was so good! I also used the pineapple juice from the can in the marinate as well. I let the chicken marinate for about 26 hours (flipped the bag everytime I went to the fridge) and the veggies about 8- WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for sharing! I am so glad I have this for parties now! Also, they were GREAT the next day for lunch!!! Hubby took some leftovers to work and shared a few with a coworker and they were a hit, in fact, I believe we will be having some extra guests at the party since they had a taste at work lol. Veggies added: green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, zuchinni, mushroom, onion, pineapple.

This is my new favorite recipe! I marinated the chicken and veggies for about 5 hours. The meat was juicy tender and full of flavor. I will definitely be making this again. ***Works just as well baked in a casserole dish in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

This recipe was really delicious. I skewered 3 or 4 skewers with just chicken, and 3 or 4 skewers with just vegetables so the chicken wouldn't undercook and the veggies wouldn't overcook. I liked this recipe better than any bottled marinade.

I really liked this but my husband was meh. I normally take his thoughts into account but I really liked this. Marinated the chicken, veggies all day and basted the kabobs with it. Very flavorful! Pretty easy. Next time will use button mushrooms and maybe consider using summer squash. A keeper for me for sure!

The chicken was moist and flavorful. I made this on my George Foreman grill and they came out wonderful.

AWESOME, I followed marinade recipe exactly except I also added vinegar to it. Marinaded a bag of ckn and a bag of mushrooms/onions for like 12 hrs. Added bacon around the chicken pieces, skewered everything up and added pineapple. Tasted delicious!

Another winner at our house. I soaked the chicken for about 20 hours. I marinated the veggies seperately. Peppers, onions, zucchini and pineapple. This was a dinner to remember. Thank you.

AWESOME AND EASY. What a crowd pleaser for a cookout. Sometimes I add ginger to the mariande too:) Thanks Ann Marie

I thought it would be wonderful based on so many positive reviews -- as several others mentioned, I too, thought it was very salty and my chicken came out very dry (had to be grilled on low heat to avoid burning veggies and to cook chicken thoughly). Next time I may try less soy sauce and will cook the chicken and veggies seperately.

Delicious! Very moist and flavorful. I will also try it with just chicken breasts sometime.

This is the only chicken kabob marinade I use anymore. I make it for my family and for guests. Everyone loves it. The kabobs are great with chicken, pineapple, cherry tomatoes and red onion too.

Easy and Delicious.

FANTASTIC! My family LOVED this recipe! I marinated the chicken and vegies for about 4 hours before grilling. Used onions and red and yellow peppers. Only used 6 chikcen breasts instead of 8. Terrific recipe - I'd give it 100 stars if I could!

this recipe was the hit at my fourth of july party..we made 10 lbs of chicken and it was gone before the first hamburger was served!! everyone wanted the recipe...

This was a very good marinade. I just used halved chicken breasts, marinated for 4 hours, and grilled just the way they were. Since I wasnt skewering with the vegetables, I added finely minced onion and garlic to the marinade. So good, and very easy. thanks!

These were so delicious! Will definitely make again and again. Added extra garlic and some dijon mustard. Thank you for sharing.

Very simple and very very good, definitely going to remember this recipe!

Soo Sooo Good...especialy the veggies part..I sliced up potatoes and onions and put them on different skeweres then the chicken, marinated for 24 hours

Truly Yummy! Everyone loved it! I followed the recipe as written (other than leaving out the peppers cause I didn't have any). Instead if grilling I cooked the chicken under the broiler.

Great recipe. I gave it 5 stars for it's simplicity and taste. I kept putting more sauce on the kabobs while they were on the grill and I think I did it too much because the taste suddenly became too strong. Once or twice should be enough, I think I did it about 6 times. Anyway this recipe is great! My party guests gobbled it all up this weekend and someone took the last ones home! Good thing I saved some that were still marinating in my fridge. I marinated overnight and I think that's exactly what this needed. I put mushrooms, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and onions. Oh and of course, cut up chicken breasts. I used the leftover marinade from the vegetables (not from the chicken!) to add while on the grill. Will make again!

These were perfectly fine kabobs but probably not something I'll make again. I was hoping for a stronger Asian-honey flavor than these provided.

These were great and so fun to make! I let the meat and veggies marinate for 5 hours. I halved the meat and vegetables in the recipe, but made the full amount of marinade. I brushed the (reserved) leftover marinade over the kabobs. They only took about 8 minutes to cook through on high heat. Will definitely make again, maybe adding some cherry tomatoes next time.

Fantastic recipe! This went over big-time with family and friends. We marinated the chicken separate from the veggies. We also doubled the marinade as recommended by a number of people. Lastly, we took the remaining marinade and cooked it down to a semi-thick sauce on the stove top. Served the kabobs on a bed of rice with extra sauce and everyone was happy. We did happen to have a small amount of leftovers one time, which were added to a grilled pizza - can we say yum?!

These were very good! I followed reviews and doubled the sauce. I used red, orange, green, and yellow peppers, and onions...also used pineapple. Very good. The chicken had a very nice flavor.

I marinated my chicken all day, so I guess that's why mine looks much darker than most of the photos. I chose to stir-fry them with onions and cubanelle peppers as it was getting late. Hubby-to-be said it was delicious, so that's all I need because he is so picky! Only change was 4 large cloves of minced garlic in the marinade and an alternate cooking method.

These were good, but not fabulous. I was disappointed given the rating, but it was fine for a weeknight dinner. I may try making them again, but I may add some fresh ginger to bump up the flavor.

This was pretty tastey. My husband and I hosted my parents and 2 sisters for dinner last night. I did not change a thing bout the marinade (except I added way more fresh garlic) I only used 5 chicken breast though. The marinade as stated would absolutely not be enough for 8 chicken breast. Marinating overnight is an absolute MUST. I put the veg and chicken in separate zip top bags. NEVER marinate together!! I skewered the chicken and veg separately and grilled them over charcoal. The honey charred nicely giving it great flavor. My family really liked it.

After reading reviews, I added pineapple as well and these kabobs turned out great.

These are very good. I have made them for a couple of years but haven't rated them until now. I have made them on a grill and on the stove top using a grill pan. I prefer the grill but they are good either way. I doubled the sauce but that was the only change that I made. Enjoy!

Regarding the marinate, the recipe instructs to set aside/reserve a little marinate BEFORE adding chicken. Once this is done add the chicken to the remainder of marinate and marinate desired time. When ready to cook chicken discard the marinate chicken was in and use reserved for brushing over meat while cooking. Happy Cooking!!!

YES! Loved this! I added some crushed red pepper flakes for spice. TIP - tenderize your meat by pounding it down just a little with a rolling pin. Makes a difference!

Made this yesterday for Fathers Day, we all LOVED it! I added 1/4 cup brown sugar and a full teaspoon of Montreal Steak Seasoning, we just love that stuff on everyhing we grill! I separated about 1/2 cup of the sauce before marinating and cooked it down to thicken and brushed it on at the last minute.I used Vidalia onions too, yum! Served w/ rice pilaf and salad.

We loved this recipe. I had the poultry store cut the chicken for me so that made it even easier. I made it this summer when we would be running around a lot and needed to have a nice dinner for company. We were lucky enough to use peppers from the garden. I also used baby portabella mushrooms on some of the kabobs. Everyone enjoyed this so much that we put the recipe in the permanent file and have used it again and again. Thanks

Made this for dinner last night and these were the best chicken kabobs I’ve ever made! My husband and I loved them and even my father who hates chicken thought they tasted great! I only had time to marinate the meat and veggies for 1-1/2 hrs and still thought they had great flavor. We used onions, zucchini and will add pineapple next time. I also used garlic powder instead of the cloves because I didn’t have any on hand. Plan on making these a lot this summer. Thank You!

Excellent marinated chicken for 2 days!

This is my new fave chicken recipe! So tasty & easy. I just put chick breasts in the marinade (in a large ziploc bag) & let it sit all day. So much flavor.

Wonderful! I put chicken in one ziplock bag, veggies in another. Doubled the marinade. Used the veggy marinade to baste kabobs. Thanks Ann Marie.

I used chicken, beef and shrimp (all marinated seperately) and another bag of vegetables (onions, peppers, squash and zucchini). This was fantastic. I let it marinade for over 24 hours.

This was good, easy to prepare from standard pantry items, but not fabulous. I used the garlic press on the garlic so it would release into the marinade. I marinated the chicken for about 6 hours, and it was tender and the marinade flavors came through. I did not marinate the veggies, but used some reserved marinade to toss the veggies in before putting them on the skewers. I added a couple of zucchini, and I think they added to the dish. Served the dish over rice cooked in chicken stock.

First of all, I made this recipe twice this weekend for 2 different parties. HUGE hit! First party I didn't add the pinapples but for the 2nd party I added fresh pineapple chunks plus pineapple juice to the marinade. It really tasted better with the pineapple. The party guests were loving the kabobs. My aunt who has been in the food business practicaly her whole life, said they were "exquisite". I was a puffed up chef at that point. Great recipe I will definitely make this again and again. Enjoy!

THESE ARE SO GOOD!!! Double sauce. They turned out perfect in toaster oven at highest heat on bake, 12ish minutes. YUM. Marinated over 24 hrs. Super tender chicken.

Sorry, I found this to be fairly flavorless and completely uninteresting. I will move on to try other kabob recipes.

This is sooo good! The only thing I changed was adding the garlic into the marinade. I soaked the chicken in one ziploc bag and the veggies (green,yellow bell, onion, cherry tomatoes, green and yellow squash) in another for 24 hours or so turning over once at 12 hours. Next time I will be adding potatoes to the mix I think cuz my family cant eat a meal without some kind of potatoes! *Edit: Im making this again tonight but as whole chicken breasts, butterflied in half to make thinner and only getting to marinate about 6 hours. I bought honey mustard and provalone cheese to put on it and some onion poppy seed buns. CANT wait to eat this sandwhich tonight!

Very tasty. I usually do not care for marinades as it seems the meat never truly picks up the flavor, but this marinade surprised me. The chicken absorbed the flavor well and it turned out quite juicy. Family loved the kabobs and the left-overs made a very tasty chicken salad. This will definitely become a regular at my house!

Great dish and my husband loved it. I would also put all the vegetables on a skewer(s) and the chicken on seperate skewers since they cook differently.

Delicious and so easy! I added some garlic to the marinade. I used red and orange bell peppers, onions, and yellow squash.

delicous!!! this tastes amazing and my fiance agrees!!!! He thought it was some of the best chicken I ever made, I didnt cook it on skewers, I only cooked it on the stove and served over rice.

my family has very high expectations, as we are all cooks, and this recipe was recieved very well! definitely going into the rotation! i doubled the marinade, also added some cut fresh jalapenos to the marinade, and for the veggie skewers, i used mini sweet peppers, kiwi, zucchini, red potatoes etc and brushed them w/ a garlic/olive oil mix and salted them. (for the potatoes i used season salt) thank you for this great recipe!

Delicous! The next time I make these I will cook the vegetables and chicken separately. In order to make sure the chicken was done I overcooked the rest.

This marinade is very easy to make. It works for me as a marinade for just cooking up chicken to serve over rice. Definitely agree with everyone else to leave it marinading for hours.

Like another reviewer, I used this to marinate whole chicken breasts. I marinated overnight. This was some of the best chicken I've ever had. I loved it, and can't wait to have it again! I highly recommend this recipe!

1st time making kabobs, and this was amazingly delicious! I followed others' suggestions and doubled the sauce. I used mushrooms, zucchinni, and yellow peppers as my veggies and marinated them separate from the chicken. I marinated both for about 24 hrs. When it came time to grill them up, I put the chicken and veggies on separate skewers. Everything was so flavorful, esp. the chicken and mushrooms which soaked up all the flavor. I actually marinated too much of the veggies, so I sauteed them in their remaining marinade. We ate everything over rice, with the sauteed extra veggies as the "sauce". It was so good & EASY! Awesome summer meal, will be making again and playing around with different veggies! Best of all, hubby loved it too!

Love It!! I read a few review's.Where is Pineapple?? I do not care care for Pepper's, so left them out. Seperate marniade, for brushing, is Great!! Had a call from friend's the day before. Everyone wanted second's !!!! We had Vodka, Lemonaid. Great !!! Can't say enough !!!

...Very Yummy! I included these in my 4th of July menu yesterday..just diced my chicken and veggies and put them all in a ziploc bag with the marinade for 6+ hrs. I didn't have room in my fridge to preassemble so when it was time to fire up the grill I pulled a few guests from the pool and we had these skewered in no time! I highly recommend adding button mushrooms...very good flavor! Thanks Ann Marie.

Delicious meal. My family and friends really enjoyed the taste of this marinade. I made a double batch so we could baste the meat and veggies while cooking, but also had multiple skewers of grilled new red potatoes that we marinated. The meal was a huge hit. Thanks Ann Marie for sharing.

This was absolutely delicious, and I'm very critical! I couldn't use the grill so I made it in the skillet like stir fry which I think gave it even more flavor. I marinated it for about 4 hours and it was perfect, tons of flavor. The pineapples make the meal in my opinion, and onions, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and bell peppers are awesome too. Highly recommended!

I made the recipe as is and it was good. It wasn't incredible but it was very easy and had nice flavor. I marinated the chicken overnight.

I slice chicken breasts cross-wise and marinate in this for a couple hours, then grill for 10 minutes a side, basting with the marinade in the last few minutes. Hubby and I both love it. It's a keeper!

I had this recipe at a friend's house over the summer and LOVED it! I made it for a Games Night dinner we had a month ago and there wasn't any chicken left! Great recipe and it smells amazing while grilling!

These were awesome. My family just loved the kabobs. I did forget to put in the garlic, but will next time. I bet they will be even better.

Every chance I get I'll serve this

Absolutely delish! 10+++ yummy, juicy, tender chicken. Just perfect. This is a keeper. I doubled the sauce and marinated the chicken separate from the veggies. The total marinating time took 6.5 hours. Halfway through I turned the meat to make sure everything was evenly soaked. One hour before I started grilling I soaked teh skewers in water. This is such a nice change of pace.

These were wonderful! We had planned on grilling but the weather did not agree with that plan so I popped them in the oven at 450 for 30 minutes, turning them over half way through. I added broccoli to the marinade mixture also and it tasted fantastic!

SO easy and yummy. I marinated the chicken all day. I used the amount stated for the liquid ingrediants, only I used 2.5 large chicken breasts. Had the perfect amount of marinade. I like others grilled the onion seperatley.

My family LOVED this recipe. I don't think it takes quite as long to cook as the recipe suggests. Mine cooked thoroughly in under 10 minutes. The honey taste is really very mild, the soy sauce overpowers it. We served it with a mesculen salad and white rice. Leftovers were tossed with the salad for lunch (could also be make into wraps).

Turned out perfect. Definitely double marinade. I did place veggies and chicken together on skewer and it all came out perfect. Used local honey, red pepper and sweet onions. Also, added zucchini which cooked in sync with peppers and onion. Marinaded for only 1-1/2 hours - next time will do much longer. Soaked wooden skewers overnight - had no problem with burning. Used a grate pan on grill for easier handling. Made for a party and everyone loved it.

I was looking for an easy marinade that had plenty of flavor and this met the mark! I think it needs another layer of flavor so next time I'll add fresh grated ginger.

Very good flavor! Excellent recipe. Double the marinade for sure!

I loved it! Husband loved it! Kids loved it!

Our favorite way to BBQ chicken! My parents and in-laws even loved this recipe when we prepared it for them! I also used fresh mushrooms.

Used blueberry honey. Very good marinade. Made kabobs with zucchini, red bell peppers, and onion. Chicken was tender and my dinner guests enjoyed them.

I made this for the first time tonight and it was wonderful! I did add a few extra cloves of garlic, used canned pineapple and added grape tomato, ran out of honey as I took the suggestion to double the marinade and ended up using some of the pineapple juice in place of the honey. This is a keeper.

This is a *can't go wrong* recipe. We've fixed this recipe for almost a year now and it's still a favorite!

This marinade absolutely rocks. We've been putting it on other things, like pork chops.

These are very good. We always add more honey since we like them sweet.

Used evoo instead of veg oil. Great marinade! Let it soak for about 4 hrs. Didn't marinate the veggies I used, just coated them with evoo. Also used minced garlic (all I had on hand).
