Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 ½ lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto skewers.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a slight char.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked, brush or drizzle it with the bang bang sauce.
- Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
Notes
✅ Chicken Choice: Chicken breast is lean, but thighs stay juicier!
✅ Marination: Let the chicken sit in the seasoning for extra flavor.
✅ Cooking Methods: Grill for the best char, but the oven and air fryer work too!
✅ Sauce Adjustments: More Sriracha = spicier, more honey = sweeter!
✅ Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat on the grill or in the air fryer.
