Equipment
- Air Fryer or Grill
- Mixing Bowl
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
- Tongs
- Small Bowl (for sauce)
- Brush or Spoon
Ingredients
Chicken & Seasoning
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
- 2/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 tsp Sriracha or to taste
- 2 tbsp honey
- wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
- Thread 4–5 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, keeping pieces uniform in size.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Divide the sauce in half — one for brushing, one for finishing.
- Brush skewers lightly with one half of the bang bang sauce.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 11–12 minutes, flipping halfway. Alternatively, bake or grill until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from heat and brush with the reserved sauce while still warm. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
These skewers can be prepped ahead and frozen raw. To grill: cook over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until charred and cooked through. Serve with rice, salad, or in wraps.
