• 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks and layers separated
• 7 (12-inch) bamboo skewers*
• Fresh basil, optional
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. chili powder

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place potato pieces into a small saucepan and add just enough water to cover the tops. Bring the water with potatoes to a boil over medium high heat, when boiling, set your timer to 5 minutes, and cook until potatoes are nearly cooked but still firm. Immediately drain and transfer to a bowl to cool.
2. 2While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the spice mix + glaze by mixing together the olive oil with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and crushed red pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the honey and vinegar. Set aside.
3. 3Toss chicken with half of the spice mixture. Divide the rest of the spice mixture between the potatoes and onions, and toss gently to combine.
4. 4Thread the chicken, sweet potatoes, and onions onto the soaked skewers. You should approximately have a total of 7 skewers. Brush the skewers with half of the honey glaze.
5. 5Pre-heat the grill on medium heat. Clean and oil the grates. Grill the chicken skewers for about 8 minutes, turning frequently, or until chicken is cooked through.
6. 6Remove from the grill and brush on the rest of the honey glaze. Optional, sprinkle with thinly sliced basil before serving.
