In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Stir thoroughly to blend ingredients.

Remove skewers from grill and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges to squeeze over chicken as desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Agave syrup can be substituted for honey for a different sweetener.
