Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Chicken Breasts: 2 pounds cubed for skewers, providing a lean and flavorful base.
  • Paprika: 1 tablespoon adding a mild, sweet spice to enhance the chicken's taste.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon infusing the skewers with a robust, aromatic flavor.
  • 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.
  • Sriracha: 2 tablespoons providing a customizable spicy element to suit your heat preference.
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons to balance the sauce's heat with a touch of natural sweetness, rounding out the flavors.

Method
 

  1. Begin by cubing the chicken into even pieces, ensuring consistent cooking.
  2. Season the chicken cubes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
  3. Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers, preparing them for cooking.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey to create the bang bang sauce.
  5. Divide the sauce, using half to brush over the chicken before cooking and reserving the rest for serving.
  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. Once cooked, apply the reserved bang bang sauce over the chicken skewers and serve immediately.

Notes

Tips:
  • For an extra flavor boost, let the chicken marinate in some of the bang bang sauce for a few hours before cooking.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, besides soaking them in water, consider wrapping the exposed ends in foil to prevent burning.
Notes:
  • This recipe is versatile; feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the skewers for added nutrition and color.
  • The bang bang sauce can be customized to your preference, making it spicier or sweeter according to your taste.
