2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes)

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for spice)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

      - Add the chicken cubes and toss until evenly coated.

        - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

          Prepare the Mango Salsa:

            - In a separate bowl, mix together the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and lime juice.

              - Season with salt to taste, and stir gently to combine.

                - Adjust lime juice and salt according to your preference. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

                  Preheat the Grill:

                    - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F - 450°F).

                      Skewer the Chicken:

                        - Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

                          Grill the Chicken:

                            - Place the skewers on the preheated grill.

                              - Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

                                Serve:

                                  - Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

                                    - Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, topped with a generous helping of mango salsa.

                                      Enjoy your tropical feast!
