Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Let it sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  2. Add chicken pieces to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C) and soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve with extra sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise for dipping, garnished with cilantro or parsley.

For a juicier option, use chicken thighs instead of breasts. Preheat your grill properly to achieve a good char. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
