Spicy Creole Chicken Skewers with Honey Glaze

MARINADE

• 2-3 tbsp olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp creole kick carnival seasoning blend
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Juice of 1 lime

GLAZE

• 4 tbsp honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp creole kick seasoning blend
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped

• Optional garnish
• Lime
• Fresh chilies

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined.
2. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to a day.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers.
4. Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
6. Place the skewers in the air fryer or oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure that the chicken is fully cooked by slicing the largest piece and checking for no pink in the middle.
7. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the creole kick seasoning. Turn down heat and add honey, warming the mixture for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
8. Brush the glaze generously over the cooked chicken skewers.

Serve and enjoy your spicy creole chicken skewers with honey glaze!
