Instructions:
Let’s get started on these amazing skewers! The first step is preparing your chicken. We’re using boneless, skinless chicken thighs because they stay incredibly moist and tender, even when cooked on skewers. Trim away any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Then, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. This size is perfect for threading onto skewers and ensures they cook evenly.
Next, we’ll assemble the skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, it’s crucial to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand. This simple step prevents them from catching fire on the grill or in the oven, ensuring your skewers are perfectly cooked without any burnt wood bits. Once soaked, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers. Don’t pack them too tightly; leave a little space between each piece so that the marinade can get to all sides of the chicken and they cook evenly.
Marinating and Glazing Magic
Now for the real flavor builder: the marinade and glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and the star of our show, the bourbon extract extract. This bourbon extract extract is where we get that wonderful depth of flavor without the actual non-alcoholic alternative. It provides a rich, almost caramel-like sweetness with a subtle complexity that pairs beautifully with the soy and honey. You’ll notice how these ingredients emulsify into a beautiful, glossy sauce. This is going to be our sticky magic!
Once your marinade/glaze is ready, pour about half of it into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Add your skewered chicken to the bag or dish, ensuring each piece is coated. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. If you’re short on time, even 15-20 minutes will infuse some great flavor.
Cooking Your Delicious Skewers
When you’re ready to cook, it’s time to bring these beauties to life! We’ll start by preheating our cooking surface. If you’re grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. For pan-frying, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the skewers onto your preheated grill, baking sheet, or into the hot skillet. If grilling or baking, cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. If pan-frying, cook in batches, about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. During the last few minutes of cooking, generously brush the remaining marinade/glaze over the skewers. This will create that signature sticky, caramelized coating. Watch them closely as the honey can burn quickly!
To check for doneness, the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be opaque and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken even more tender and succulent. The residual heat will continue to cook them slightly. The aroma alone will have everyone eager to dig in!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can marinate the chicken in the bourbon extract glaze for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. You can also grill the skewers ahead of time and then briefly reheat them on the grill or in a hot oven just before serving. They’ll still be wonderfully sticky and flavorful.
What if I don’t have bourbon extract?
While bourbon extract provides a unique flavor, you can substitute it with another type of whiskey extract or even dark rum extract. If you prefer a non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic option, a good quality dark maple syrup mixed with a splash of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of smoked paprika can offer a similar sweet and tangy profile.
