Description
Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are a delicious and flavorful grilled dish featuring marinated chicken cubes coated in a spicy and creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the bang bang sauce. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the sauce for serving later.
- Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the sauce and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the reserved bang bang sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the bang bang sauce.
- Substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken for a different protein option.
