Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and soy sauce. Whisk until smooth and well blended. Set aside a portion for glazing later.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss chicken with salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Pour 4-5 tablespoons of sauce over the chicken and mix thoroughly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Thread 6-8 pieces of marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes on each side, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Brush skewers with reserved sauce, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
