Instructions
Creating Bang Bang Chicken Skewers is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for outstanding results:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning during cooking.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha sauce until smooth. Adjust the sriracha based on your heat preference.
4. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Cook the Skewers: Grill the chicken for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) ensures it’s safe to eat.
7. Coat with Sauce: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat. Brush or drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top of the skewers.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
9. Serve: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Skewers warm, with extra sauce on the side.
