Ingredients
Scale
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
For the Chicken Skewers:
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish (Optional):
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Set aside half of the sauce for serving.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
- Finish with Sauce: During the last few minutes of cooking, brush skewers with some reserved bang bang sauce.
- Serve: Remove skewers from grill, drizzle with remaining sauce, and garnish with cilantro, green onions, or sesame seeds.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- The sauce can also be used as a dipping sauce or salad dressing.
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of sriracha.
