Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for deeper flavor.

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure to oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

      Skewer the Chicken: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.

        Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

          Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the grill. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

            Enjoy: These spicy grilled chicken bites are perfect for a party or a snack, served with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
