Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
Bang Bang Chicken Skewers feature savory grilled chicken paired with a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce, perfect for barbecues, dinner parties, or cozy evenings at home.
Ingredients
For the Skewers
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Provides protein and absorbs flavors
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers Soak in water to prevent burning
For the Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Adds creaminess to the sauce
- 1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce Provides sweetness and uniqueness to the flavor
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce Adds spicy kick
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice Ensures bright acidity and flavor enhancement
- 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Essential for seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by washing and pat drying the boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Slice them into bite-sized cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the bang bang sauce.
Marination
- Toss the cubed chicken in half of the bang bang sauce to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water during this time to prevent burning.
Assembly
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers. Optionally add vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove from the grill and serve hot with the remaining bang bang sauce, garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
For best results, choose organic or free-range chicken and consider marinating for several hours or overnight for a more robust flavor. Serve alongside a refreshing cucumber salad or jasmine rice.
