Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Skewers:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the Marinade and Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix well. This will be both your marinade for the chicken and a dipping sauce.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring it’s well-coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Get Ready to Grill: Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Grill the Skewers: Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Final Touches: Drizzle reserved sauce over the grilled chicken.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with cilantro and serve with dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of sriracha in the marinade.
- Make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
