Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenders
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ Cup sour cream
- ½ Cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 Tbs Sriracha sauce
- 2 limes - juice and zest
- 6 garlic cloves - smashed
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces - about 1 inch cube. Salt and pepper the boneless skinless chicken tenders and set aside. In a medium sized bowl mix the remaining ingredients together. Reserve half of the sauce in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
- Place the chicken tender pieces in a gallon sized plastic resealable bag and cover with the other half of the sauce. Smoosh the bag around so that all of the chicken pieces are covered with the sauce and place in the refrigerator. Marinate in this way for at least an hour - but overnight is better.
- After marinating the chicken, place 3-4 pieces of chicken on a skewer with the edges touching but not jammed on there too tightly. (I use bamboo skewers). Adjust the amount if you use the longer metal skewers.
- Grill over medium heat (about 350 degrees) for 3-4 minutes per side until chicken is cooked through.
- Allow to rest when done grilling for a few minutes. Serve hot. Great with rice. Garnish with cilantro. Use the half of the marinade that you placed in a bowl in the fridge as a dip. Remove the large chunks of smashed garlic before using as a dip.
Notes
- Substitutions
- Chicken Tenders - You can substitute any boneless, skinless cut of chicken you prefer! This marinade is also delicious on chicken wings!
- Sriracha - Sriracha is the preferred hot sauce for this recipe, but if you can't find it or don't have it any basic hot sauce will work. Try Texas Pete or Cholulas.
- Lime - You can use bottled lime juice rather than actual limes if you need to. 4 Tbs is the right amount.
- Sour Cream - It's fine to substitute Plain Greek Yogurt.
- Mayonnaise - If you make your own mayo, that will work. I wouldn't try to substitute any other mayo substitutes though.
- Oil the grill grates with some vegetable oil before you place this on the grill - otherwise, the chicken will stick and you will have a mess!

- Don’t be one of those people who flip their meat every two or 5 seconds. Let the meat do what it do on the grill. That little bit of charcoal flavor is what enhances this meal. Place the skewer on the grill and leave it there for 3-4 whole minutes. Then flip it once. Don’t be flipping and flopping your meat!

- Don’t try to grab these skewers with your fingers. Just place them on the grill and use some tongs to flip them. I don’t want any burned fingers out there.

- No point in basting this chicken like a BBQ sauce - just cook it - then you can dip it later if you want.

- If you really enjoy grilled chicken - you might enjoy this Jerk Chicken I did. Oh man, it is good! In fact, I’m thinking about a pressure cooker recipe that is similar right now. I’ll be getting back to you on that!
