# Components:
→ Chicken Bites
01 - 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon honey
05 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Creamy Garlic Sauce
10 - 1/3 cup mayonnaise
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 garlic clove, minced
13 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar
14 - Pinch of salt
# Directions:
01 - Combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken thigh pieces and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - Blend mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth, then chill until serving.
03 - Thread marinated chicken pieces evenly onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking. If not using skewers, proceed to grilling directly.
04 - Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken bites for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
05 - Arrange grilled chicken bites on a platter. Drizzle or serve with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.
