Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8–10 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2–3 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional: chopped cilantro or toasted sesame seeds for additional garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breasts into even, bite-sized cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels to help the sauce adhere better and prevent steaming while grilling.
  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the level of spiciness or sweetness as desired.
  3. Thread the Skewers: Carefully thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces to allow for even cooking.
  4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, juicy, and has nice grill marks.
  5. Coat with Bang Bang Sauce: Once grilled, generously brush the warm chicken skewers with the prepared bang bang sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions or your preferred garnish on top for a fresh and colorful finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use uniform chicken pieces to ensure even cooking and avoid dryness.
  • Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Do not overcrowd the grill; leave space between skewers for proper heat circulation and smoky char.
  • If the sauce is too thick for coating, thin it with a splash of water.
  • Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain juices.
