Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are the reason we fire up the grill almost every week once the weather warms up, juicy chunks of chicken coated in a creamy, spicy sweet sauce that clings to every single bite.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Chicken Skewers
- 2 and ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili crisp
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, chili crisp, soy sauce, lime zest, and lime juice. Set aside a portion for serving.
- Thread the seasoned chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers. Brush the chicken skewers with bang bang sauce on all sides to evenly coat. Discard any left that touched raw chicken.
- Heat grill to 450°F. Grill skewers for 12-14 minutes, rotating occasionally, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is charred on all sides.
- Serve with reserved sauce on the side.
Set aside some of the bang bang sauce before it touches the raw chicken, that way you've got a clean batch to drizzle or dip with once the skewers come off the grill.
