Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting boneless, skinless chicken thighs into strips, roughly 1 inch thick. Thread each strip onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and bourbon until smooth.
  3. Transfer the assembled chicken skewers into a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over them, seal the bag tightly, and massage the chicken.
  4. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add marinated chicken skewers. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the skewers, drizzle with remaining sauce, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping options.
