Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 lb chicken breasts Cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 salt to taste
  • 0.25 pepper to taste
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
Skewers and Garnish
  • 1 wooden skewers Soaked
  • 0.5 green onions for garnish
  • 1 sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Marinate and prep the skewers
  1. Cut chicken breasts into chunks and coat them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Thread the seasoned chicken onto soaked wooden skewers.
  3. Let the skewers rest for 30 minutes so the seasoning can set and the chicken stays flavorful.
Grill the chicken
  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and grill the skewers for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through, turning once for even browning.
Make the bang bang sauce and finish
  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the hot grilled skewers and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the grill at medium-high and avoid moving the skewers too early so they develop color before flipping. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days; freeze chicken skewers (sauce separately) for up to 2 months. For a lighter option, use light mayonnaise and keep the rest of the sauce the same for a similar creamy texture.
