Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Skewers:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust based on your spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Cut the Chicken: Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes, ensuring that they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure each piece is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

  1. Combine the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on how spicy you like your sauce.
  2. Set the Sauce Aside: Set the bang bang sauce aside while you prepare the skewers.

Prepare the Skewers:

  1. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, ensuring they are packed snugly but not too tightly to allow for even grilling.

Grill the Chicken:

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Be sure to rotate the skewers occasionally for even cooking.

Serve the Skewers:

  1. Drizzle with Sauce: Once the chicken is grilled and perfectly cooked, drizzle the bang bang sauce over the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping.
  2. Garnish and Serve: Optional garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or cilantro for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
