Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup mayonnais e
  • 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hone y
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Soak bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent combustion during grilling.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and smoked paprika until emulsified.
  • Remove 1/4 cup of the sauce mixture and set aside in a refrigerated container for final glazing.
  • Season the chicken cubes with salt and black pepper in a large bowl, then incorporate the remaining sauce mixture to coat all surfaces.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat a grill or heavy-bottomed grill pan to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/204°C) and lightly coat with high-smoke-point oil.
  • Thread 5 to 6 chicken cubes onto each skewer, ensuring they are not overly compressed to allow even heat distribution.
  • Grill the skewers for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior shows maillard reaction charring.
  • Remove skewers from heat, drizzle with the reserved sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
