Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Skewers

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8–10 wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Seasonings

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breasts into evenly sized bite-sized pieces to ensure consistent cooking. Lightly toss the chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to season evenly.
  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, and fresh lime juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the balance of spicy and sweet as preferred.
  3. Thread the Chicken: Carefully thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden or metal skewers, ensuring even spacing for thorough cooking.
  4. Grill or Cook the Skewers: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Alternatively, broil in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
  5. Coat and Serve: Once cooked, generously brush or drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the skewers, tossing gently to coat evenly. Garnish with optional toppings such as chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and juiciness.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Allow skewers to rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice to thin it for easier coating.
  • Use a high heat grill or pan to achieve appealing char marks and smoky flavor.
