Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Chopped green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade and Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and rice vinegar or lime juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth, reserving half of the sauce for basting and serving later.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Toss the cut chicken pieces in the marinade mixture, ensuring each piece is coated well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
  3. Thread the Chicken onto Skewers: Carefully thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers or metal ones, spacing them slightly for even cooking and to allow the heat to circulate.
  4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the chicken skewers onto the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, brushing occasionally with the reserved sauce for extra flavor and moisture.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once cooked through and slightly charred, remove the skewers from the grill. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Chicken choice matters: Thigh meat yields juicier results, but breasts work well if trimmed and not overcooked.
  • Don’t skip soaking wooden skewers: Prevents burning and keeps your food safer.
  • Consistent size: Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking throughout.
  • Watch the grill temperature: Medium-high heat locks in juices without drying out the chicken.
  • Make extra sauce: Bang bang sauce is addictive, so doubling it for dipping is always a good idea.
