Ingredients
Scale
- Chicken: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Marinade:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Skewers: 8-10 wooden or metal skewers
- Garnish:
- Chopped green onions, for serving

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance for deeper flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: Use tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
