Description
Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are a spicy and flavorful dish made with marinated chicken thighs grilled or air-fried to perfection, served with a delicious bang bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½–2 lbs chicken thighs, cubed into 1 inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp hot honey
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp lime juice, fresh squeezed
- ⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- ¼ cup Sriracha
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken thighs, oil, and seasonings. Toss to evenly coat the chicken well.
- Working one skewer at a time, thread the chunks of chicken until about 1/2-3/4ths of the skewer is filled.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice. Mix well to make about 1.5 cups of bang bang sauce.
- Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside for dipping and glazing after cooking.
- Add the chicken skewers to a baking sheet and brush the rest of the sauce evenly over the chicken.
- For grilling, grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, turning often until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- For air frying, add the skewers to the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce and hot honey if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for juiciness; chicken breasts can be used but may dry out.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your heat preference.
