Ingredients
  

Chicken kabobs
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 salt
  • 0.25 pepper
  • 2 bell peppers for skewering
  • 1 onions for skewering
  • 1 wooden skewers soaked
  • 4 green onions garnish
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds garnish
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Season and marinate the chicken
  1. Season the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, coating every surface so the flavor clings.
  2. Rest the seasoned chicken for 30 minutes to marinate, keeping it covered in the refrigerator so it stays cold and tender.
Assemble the skewers
  1. Thread the chicken and bell peppers and onions onto the wooden skewers in an even pattern so everything cooks at the same rate.
Grill the kabobs
  1. Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is browned with visible grill marks.
  2. Flip once during grilling to cook the second side, aiming for even char and doneness throughout.
Make and serve the bang bang sauce
  1. Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth and creamy, with a glossy orange-white swirl.
  2. Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the hot grilled kabobs so it melts slightly and coats the chicken.
  3. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a fresh crunch and bright finish.

Notes

For best coating, drizzle the bang bang sauce right after grilling while the kabobs are hot. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freeze the cooked kabobs up to 1 month (sauce separately for best texture). If you want a lighter sauce, swap mayonnaise for light mayo to reduce calories while keeping the creamy texture.
