  2. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ground ginger, and Chinese rice wine in a bowl until well combined.
  3. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken onto wooden skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Dip each skewer into the beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  6. Arrange the skewers on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
  7. Turn the skewers over after 10 minutes and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving with dipping sauces like sweet chili or BBQ.
