Chunks of chicken thread onto skewers and grill until charred at the edges, then get brushed with a sweet chili glaze that caramelizes over the flame. The simple pantry shortcut makes this a fast weeknight dinner or easy party appetizer with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha

Method

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak 8 skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce and sriracha.

  3. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.

  4. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, dividing evenly among 8 skewers.

  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F.

  6. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the chicken is charred at the edges and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

  7. Remove from the grill and let rest 2 minutes before serving.
