Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Make sure to cut evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • Skewers as needed Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes) Soaking helps prevent burning.
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust to taste for spiciness.
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Toss the cut chicken pieces in the sauce and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece.
Cooking
  1. Grill the skewers on a preheated grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Alternatively, bake on a baking sheet and broil for about 10 minutes.
Serving
  1. Enjoy the skewers hot off the grill with any leftover sauce drizzled on top or served on the side for dipping.

Notes

Consider toppings like chopped scallions, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts for added texture. If substituting chicken, shrimp or tofu can be used as a delightful vegetarian option.
