  • —Kosher Salt: 1 teaspoon (to enhance the overall flavor profile of the skewers.)
  • —Pepper: ½ teaspoon (adding a subtle heat and depth to the seasoning blend.)
  • —Mayonnaise: 1 cup (creating the creamy texture and rich base for the bang bang sauce.)
  • —Sweet Chili Sauce: ½ cup (offering a sweet and tangy kick, crucial for the signature sauce's flavor.)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by cubing the chicken into even pieces, ensuring consistent cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken cubes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers, preparing them for cooking.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey to create the bang bang sauce.

  5. 5

    Divide the sauce, using half to brush over the chicken before cooking and reserving the rest for serving.

  6. 6

    Cook the skewers in your chosen method: air fry at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Once cooked, apply the reserved bang bang sauce over the chicken skewers and serve immediately.
