Description
Juicy, spicy, and creamy grilled Bang Bang Chicken Skewers coated in a sweet and tangy sauce — perfect for BBQs, appetizers, or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Bamboo or metal skewers
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Chopped green onions (optional garnish)
Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Lime wedges (optional garnish)
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and nicely charred.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar to make the Bang Bang sauce.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and place in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over and gently toss to coat.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve hot as a main dish with rice or noodles, or as an appetizer.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers ahead to prevent burning.
Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
Can be baked at 425°F for 15–18 minutes if not grilling.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Use gluten-free chili sauce and sriracha for a gluten-free version.
Great for meal prep — marinate in advance and prepare sauce ahead.
