Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish
- 1 tbsp sliced scallions for garnish
Instructions:
- Toss the cubed chicken with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Drizzle the lime juice over the seasoned cubes and let sit for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, whisk together the Greek yogurt, avocado oil mayo, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until emulsified.
- Transfer half of the sauce to a separate ramekin for serving as a dip. Keep the remaining half for basting the chicken.
- Thread 4 to 5 marinated chicken pieces onto each water-soaked bamboo skewer, leaving a small gap between pieces for airflow.
- Preheat your grill or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the skewers for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Brush the chicken generously with the basting sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the glaze is tacky and caramelized.
- Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving. Let rest for 3 minutes to reach 165°F (74°C).
