Ingredients
Scale
- 2.25 lb chicken (cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking)
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1.25 tsp paprika
- 1.25 tsp garlic powder
- 1.25 tsp salt
- 0.75 tsp pepper
- skewers (soak in water for 30 minutes if using wood)
- 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise (I prefer Hellmann’s for the creamiest texture)
- 2/3 cup chili sauce (I use Maggi Sweet Chili sauce)
- 2.5 tsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken cubes, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until chicken is evenly coated.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
- Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- Cook the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a bowl.
- Serve the skewers hot with the bang bang sauce drizzled over or on the side for dipping.
Notes
Feel free to customize the spice levels in the bang bang sauce according to your taste preferences. This recipe can also be made with shrimp or tofu for a different twist.
