Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound chicken breast
Main Flavoring Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Seasonings and Acidic Components:
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat your outdoor grill to 375°F, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Whisk ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Season the marinade with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, stirring thoroughly to distribute the seasoning.
- Cut 1 pound chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes, ensuring each piece is similar in size for consistent cooking.
- Pour marinade over chicken cubes, tossing gently to coat every piece completely and evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for exactly 30 minutes, allowing flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small space between each chunk for even heat circulation.
- Place skewers on preheated grill, cooking for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer grilled skewers to a clean platter and let rest for 3 minutes before serving with additional sauce.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- For a gluten-free version, swap soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Marinate chicken longer (up to 4 hours) for deeper flavor penetration.
- If using frozen chicken, thaw completely and pat dry before marinating to ensure sauce adheres properly.
