In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until well blended, then add ginger and garlic.
3/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 4 tbsp ginger, 4 cloves garlic
Place the pieces of chicken in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the top and stir so that all pieces are evenly covered.
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Cover and place chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for a least 30 minutes. Stir halfway through just to be sure all the pieces are marinated completely.
When you’re ready to grill, thread chicken pieces onto the soaked bamboo skewers. Preheat the grill pan on medium heat. You can also grill these an outdoor charcoal grill or gas grill.
Once the grill is hot, add skewers and cook for 8 minutes or until the chicken begins to brown. If you are cooking these skewers on an outdoor BBQ grill, you’ll want to cook them on side of the grill with indirect heat to prevent flare ups.
Turn the chicken skewers over and baste them with the other 1/2 of the honey mixture over the top. Continue cooking for another 8 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown or the internal temperature on a meat thermometer reads 165°.

Be sure to soak wooden skewers in cold water for about an hour before cooking. You can use metal skewers if you prefer.
Cooking times will vary based on the type of grill you use or if you use a grill pan instead.
For a spicier marinade, try adding red pepper flakes or a little bit of cayenne pepper to the other marinade ingredients.
