These tasty chicken snacks make the perfect hors d'oeuvres.

4 hours 30 minutes

40 pieces

Ingredients

1 cup	orange marmalade
1/4 cup	balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp	fresh thyme leaves
3 tbsp	olive oil
1 tsp	kosher salt
1/4 tsp	freshly ground black pepper
3lb	boneless skinless chicken breast or thigh meat, cut lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips
36 to 40	6" wooden skewers

Combine everything except chicken and skewers in a large nonreactive bowl and whisk to combine.
Add chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover and marinate at least 4 hours.
When ready to cook, heat oven to 425F and arrange a rack in the middle. Remove chicken from marinade (reserving marinade) and thread 1 piece of chicken on each skewer.
Heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan until boiling and boil, about 3 minutes. Cool a bit before using.
Arrange skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake about 10 minutes, flip skewers and baste with remaining marinade (you don't need to use it all). Bake about 5 more minutes, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
