Step-by-Step Instructions

Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 to 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, oil, lime juice, lime zest, rice wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Reserve half for basting.
Marinate chicken chunks in half the marinade for at least 30 minutes in an airtight container.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (at least 350°F). Clean and oil the grates.
Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, spacing evenly.
Grill skewers for about 4 minutes on one side, flipping and basting with reserved marinade every 2 minutes until cooked (8-10 minutes total).
Remove from grill and let rest for a moment before serving.
