These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are a spicy, tangy, and creamy delight perfect for grilling or baking. Enjoy them as an appetizer or main dish!

  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 skewers

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts: 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Wooden Skewers: 8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes.

For the Marinade:

  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons.
  • Garlic Cloves: 2, minced.
  • Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons.
  • Paprika: 1 teaspoon.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon.
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon.
  • Cayenne Pepper: ¼ teaspoon (adjust for heat preference).

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • Mayonnaise: ½ cup.
  • Sriracha Sauce: 2 tablespoons.
  • Honey: 1 tablespoon.
  • Rice Vinegar: 1 tablespoon.
  • Garlic Powder: ½ teaspoon.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

  1. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

Step 3: Make the Bang Bang Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined. Adjust the spice level to taste.

Step 4: Assemble the Skewers

  1. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Step 5: Cook the Skewers

  1. Grilling Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Brush the cooked chicken skewers with the Bang Bang Sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the sauce to match your preferred spice level.
  • These skewers pair wonderfully with a side of rice or a fresh vegetable salad.
