Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8–10 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2–3 tablespoons sriracha or chili sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes and Variations

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Crushed peanuts or cashews (for crunch)
  • Vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for skewering (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes to ensure quick and even cooking that keeps the chicken tender and juicy while it grills.
  2. Soak the Skewers: Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent them from burning during cooking.
  3. Thread the Chicken: Carefully thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even heat distribution.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice until smooth and creamy.
  5. Cook the Skewers: Grill or broil the chicken skewers on high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
  6. Coat and Serve: Brush the cooked skewers generously with the Bang Bang sauce or toss them lightly in a bowl with the sauce. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh chicken to ensure even cooking and juiciness.
  • Avoid overcooking; chicken cooks quickly so watch closely to keep it tender.
  • Adjust the sweetness and spice of the sauce to your liking before coating the chicken.
  • Let the skewers rest a minute after cooking to retain juices.
  • Do not crowd chicken pieces on the skewers to allow even cooking and proper charring.
  • For gluten-free option, use gluten-free mayo and chili sauce.
  • Consider adding chopped vegetables to skewers for added nutrition and color.
