Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
Delicious grilled chicken skewers coated in a tangy, spicy Bang Bang sauce, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- wooden or metal skewers
- chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning, or use metal skewers.
- In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Reserve half of the sauce in a separate bowl for dipping later.
- Season the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, and vegetable oil. Toss the chicken cubes in the remaining sauce until well-coated.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, making sure not to overcrowd them.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
- Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Skewers with the reserved sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 1-2 hours before grilling. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
