Ingredients

• 1 family pack of boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño juice
• 1/2 cup Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
• 1 stick butter
• 2 fresh jalapeño peppers thinly sliced
• 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• juice from fresh lemon
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 Tablespoon Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub

Directions

1. Trim any excess fat and cut each chicken thighs into thirds; season with Killer Hogs AP Seasoning.
2. Combine the honey, pickled jalapeño juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Place the chicken thigh chunks into a container and pour the marinade over the top. Mix the thighs pieces around so that everything is covered and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Skewer the thigh pieces and season on all sides with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
4. Prepare a grill for direct grilling over hot coals - any grill will work for this recipe.
5. Place each skewer on the cooking grate directly over the coals and cook turning often for even grilling.
6. In a sauce pot, melt the butter and add the fresh sliced jalapeños and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes (until peppers begin to soften). Add in Worcestershire, lemon juice, honey and Hot Rub to butter mixture. Bring to a slight simmer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
7. When the chicken skewers are about 160°F internal, brush each one with the honey jalapeño glaze - continue to grill the chicken turning as needed and brushing with the glaze until the internal temp reaches 175°F in each skewer.
8. Remove from the grill, slide the chicken bites off the skewers onto a serving platter, and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
