Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Skewers and Garnish

  • 8–10 bamboo or metal skewers (if bamboo, soaked in water 15 minutes)
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into uniform bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and ease of eating. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels to help the sauce adhere better.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and well blended. Add the chicken pieces and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the bold flavors.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning if using bamboo. Thread marinated chicken chunks onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even grilling.
  4. Grill to Perfection: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully to avoid losing the sauce. Grill until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove skewers from grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into even-sized pieces for consistent cooking and to prevent dryness.
  • Marinate for at least 20 minutes to let flavors develop fully.
  • Use medium-high heat on the grill to get a perfect char without overcooking.
  • Lightly oil grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking and preserve sauce coating.
  • Allow skewers to rest a few minutes after grilling to lock in juices and enhance tenderness.
