I stained my wooden dining room chairs Two weeks later they are still sticky. Was there something I should’ve put over the stain?

Did you strip them first or apply stain over old stain? If you just applied stain over the old stain they probably are reacting to each other. Some finishes don't over over others finishes. I'm afraid you'll have to strip and sand the chairs clean and start over.
Ugh that’s what I was afraid of. Thank you.
You might try reapplying the stain (in a small spot), then immediately buffing it off well with a soft cloth until nothing will rub off. Sometimes if the stain is not completely buffed off it doesn't dry completely and gets tacky.
thank you
