Prep work...
If using wooden skewers, soak them in cool water for about 30 minutes prior to using
Peel your sweet potatoes and onion. Cut the sweet potatoes, onion and chicken into 1 inch cubes
In a small dish, combine 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and an optional 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and set aside for now
In a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of minced or pasted ginger, 2 finely minced cloves of garlic, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin or ketchup and 1 tablespoon of lime juice or rice vinegar and set aside for now
Make your skewers...
Bring a large pot of water to a boil
Once boiling, add the sweet potatoes and boil for 5 minutes
Drain the sweet potatoes and set them aside
Once the sweet potatoes have cooled enough to touch, assemble the skewers alternating between the chicken, sweet potatoes and onions
Generously season the skewers on all sides
Place a flat skillet or grill pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray
Once the pan is warm, place the skewers down leaving a little bit of space between each one
Cook on the first side until the underside is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes
Flip the cooked side up and brush with the honey ginger glaze
Continue flipping and glazing until the chicken is cooked through and the edges are crisp and deeply browned
