Instructions
Creating Bang Bang Chicken Skewers is simple and enjoyable! Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss until well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level. Set aside.
3. Preheat Grill: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers, ensuring they are packed closely together but not overcrowded.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Make sure to turn them occasionally.
6. Coat with Sauce: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle or toss them in the Bang Bang sauce. You can either serve them tossed in the sauce or use the sauce as a dip.
7. Garnish (optional): For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped green onions or sesame seeds over the skewers.
8. Serve Warm: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter while they’re still warm.
