Easy Sweet Chili BBQ Chicken Skewers Recipe

These skewers feature juicy chicken pieces coated in a flavorful sweet chili sauce, then grilled to perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from prep to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and serve hot with extra sweet chili sauce for dipping.
