Sweet Chili Sauce

1 cup Sweet chili sauce

For Skewering

8 pieces Wooden skewers

Method

Marinating the Chicken

Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, combine sesame oil, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame jam, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.

Marinate the Chicken

Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Assembling and Cooking

Prepare the Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Skewer the Chicken

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers. Leave space between each piece for even cooking.

Grill the Skewers

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

Serve with Sauce

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping.
