Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless chicken, beef, or pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chopped green onions

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt to create the marinade.
  • Add the meat cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
  • Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
  • Brush the meat with additional honey glaze.
  • Grill or roast the skewers for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
  • Remove from heat and let the skewers rest for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
