Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes (about 450 g) Use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead for more flavor.
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise Can be swapped with light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce Mix substitute if unavailable.
- 1–2 teaspoons Sriracha (to taste) Adjust for preferred spice level.
- 1 tablespoon lime juice Fresh is best; bottled may be used.
- Salt and pepper to taste
To Serve
- Extra sauce on the side for dipping
Instructions
Make the Bang Bang Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Reserve a quarter cup for dipping.
Prepare the Skewers
- Thread the chicken cubes onto soaked wooden skewers, ensuring to leave gaps between pieces.
Preheat the Grill
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the Skewers
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Brush with Sauce
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with the Bang Bang sauce for a thick glaze.
Serve
- Remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately with the extra sauce on the side.
Notes
Soak skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
