Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Bang Bang Chicken Skewers with a spicy, creamy sauce, ideal for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8–10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust based on spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, toss your chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure every piece is coated evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance flavor.
- While your chicken is marinating, prepare the Bang Bang sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on how spicy you like it. Taste, and set aside!
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, take your soaked wooden skewers and start threading the marinated chicken onto them. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally. You want them to be golden brown and cooked through—an internal temperature of 165°F is ideal.
- Once skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps keep the chicken juicy.
- Serve the chicken skewers with a generous drizzle of Bang Bang sauce. A little extra on the side for dipping doesn’t hurt either!
Notes
Consider substituting chicken for turkey breast or firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Use Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a healthier Bang Bang sauce.
