Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8–10 skewers
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Cut the chicken into 1 to 1.5-inch chunks. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss in olive oil.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and vinegar until smooth. Adjust spiciness or sweetness to taste.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Add the sauce: Brush skewers with bang bang sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, or drizzle sauce on top after removing from the grill.
- Serve immediately: Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve extra sauce on the side.
Notes
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a portion of the bang bang sauce for 30 minutes before grilling.
