Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning during grilling.
  2. Combine sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Trim excess fat from boneless chicken thighs and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Coat chicken with two-thirds of the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, around 400–450°F (200–230°C).
  6. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers.
  7. Grill skewers for about 10 minutes per side, without moving them too soon.
  8. In the final 5 minutes, brush the skewers with reserved marinade for glazing.
  9. Check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C).
  10. Serve the skewers warm on a platter.
