Say you've mastered Sriracha, the hot sauce of the decade, the hip culinary thing of five years ago. Time to move on up, spread your wings, and bring a new sauce into your life that comes from Asia and starts with the letter-S: Sambal! Less sweet than Sriracha, with more vinegar notes and direct chile flavor, sambal brings these skewers to a new level, infusing every bite of chicken with the perfect spice. Now that you've got sambal down, you've ready for the sauce Olympics.

In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine diced chicken, honey, sambal (to taste), and 1/4 tsp. salt.Thread chicken on skewers. There should be about three pieces per skewer.Place chicken skewers on prepared baking sheet and pour honey-sambal mixture over. Set aside to marinate at least 5 minutes. -

Zest and halve lime. Quarter one half and juice remaining half. -
3 Roast the Chicken
