Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • -For the Chicken and Marinade:
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers soak wooden skewers 30 min before use
  • -For Serving:
  • Extra sweet chili sauce and mayo mixed for dipping
  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley optional

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
  4. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning 2 to 3 times, until chicken is charred at the edges and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Mix extra mayo and sweet chili sauce for a dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with cilantro or parsley if using.

Notes

Chicken thighs work better than breasts if you want more moisture. Get the grill properly hot before the chicken goes on and resist moving the skewers too early. Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
