Description
These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are juicy, spicy, and glazed in a creamy chili-garlic sauce that’s both sweet and tangy. Perfect for grilling season or weeknight dinners, they’re quick to prepare and full of bold flavor.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for garnish
Bamboo or metal skewers
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Reserve some sauce for drizzling.
3. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each.
4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
5. In the final minutes of grilling, brush skewers generously with the bang bang sauce. Serve hot with cilantro and lime.
Notes
For extra spice, increase the sriracha to 2 tablespoons.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
Substitute Greek yogurt for mayo to lighten the sauce.
