Description
Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are a delicious and flavorful dish featuring marinated chicken cubes grilled to perfection and served with a spicy bang bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the bang bang sauce.
- Reserve about 1/4 cup of the sauce for serving later. Add the chicken cubes to the remaining sauce in the bowl and toss until the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the reserved bang bang sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option. Adjust cooking time accordingly, as shrimp will cook faster than chicken.
