Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes and patting them dry. Toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes or prepare metal skewers. Thread 4-5 pieces of marinated chicken onto each skewer, leaving space for heat circulation.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside some sauce for serving.
  4. For grilling, preheat to 400°F and grill skewers for about 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature hits 165°F. If baking, preheat oven to 425°F and bake for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway. For pan-frying, heat oil in a skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning until golden-brown.
  5. Remove skewers from heat and brush with reserved sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges and remaining sauce for dipping.

Notes

Ensure chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking. Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer for safety. Let skewers rest before saucing for optimal flavor and moisture.
