- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder optional

For the Bang Bang Sauce

Optional Garnishes
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions

Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1–1.5 inch chunks and pat dry. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Taste and adjust to preference.
- Thread chicken onto skewers. Add bell peppers or onions between pieces if desired.
- Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and fully cooked through.

Notes
Use Greek yogurt to lighten the sauce or adjust sriracha to control spice. If using wooden skewers, soak for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
