Add minced garlic, honey, sugar, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl.

Mix everything together very well.

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.

Soak wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Prepare a rack over a baking pan for baking the chicken.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced apart and not dangling off.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Roast the chicken skewers in the oven for 15 minutes.

Turn the skewers over and roast for an additional 5 minutes.

Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for 3 minutes to achieve a golden brown color.
