Ingredients

1 lbs Chicken breast
1/4 cup Rice vinegar
1/4 cup Honey
2 tbsp Sambal chili paste
2 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Fish sauce
1 tbsp Dad’s Maple Bourbon rub
1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
1 tsp Corn starch
Green onions

Instructions

Cube up the chicken breast into small bite size pieces.
Drizzle with some olive oil and season with Dad's All Purpose rub. Set aside.
In a saucepan, add sambal chili paste, fish sauce, rice vinegar honey, brown sugar, Dad'sMaple Bourbon rub or any sweet rub. Mix the ingredients together and simmer over low heat until it comes to a boil.
In a separate cup mix together corn starch and water and add to the sauce to help thicken the consistency. Add small amounts at a time and whisk until it thickens to your liking.
Preheat the grill to high heat, add some olive oil so the meat does not stick to the flat top and drop the seasoned chicken bites on the griddle.
Flip the chicken every minute to ensure an even cook throughout. Remove at 160 degrees internal.
Move the grilled chicken bites into a large bowl and allow them to rest 2-4 minutes.
Pour the sweet chili sauce over the grilled chicken bites. Toss everything around making sure to cover all the small pieces.
Top with freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

If you are not a fan of chicken, this recipe can be made using pork loin. This will give a meatier, more fatty meat and a good bite.
Adjust the amount of Sambal chili paste depending on your heat level tolerance. Remember you can always add more.
If you are using a different grill other than a flat top, make sure to use a cast iron skillet.
