Ingredients

Bang Bang Sauce-

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until well combined. Set aside.
    1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce, 2 Tbsp sriracha hot sauce
  • Cube the chicken into 1½-2-inch cubes and add to a large bowl. Add the oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the chicken and toss until well combined.
    1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp paprika
  • Pour half of the yum yum sauce mixture into the chicken and toss. Cover the chicken and marinade in the fridge for up to 12 hours. (If you are grilling right away, allow the chicken to marinate at room temp for at least 30 minutes.)

Grilling Method-

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates.
  • Working one skewer at a time, slide the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, threading about 6-8 chicken cubes onto each skewer. (Do not overstuff the chicken on the skewers, and don’t push them so close together, leave some space between each piece. This ensures even cooking.)
  • Repeat until all the chicken is on skewers.
  • Carefully add the chicken skewers onto the preheated grill. Grill on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • As the skewers cook, rotate the chicken often. With the rest of the bang bang sauce, continue to brush the sauce over the chicken, and allow the chicken and sauce to caramelize.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the skewers from the grill and brush them one final time with the sauce.
  • Top with freshly chopped greens and serve with desired sides.

Air Fryer Method-

  • Spray the air fryer basket with baking spray and add the skewers into the basket. Do not overcrowd the basket. (Depending on your air fryer size, you might have to do it in batches.)
  • Air fryer the skewers at 400F for 6 minutes, then brush the chicken with some sauce, flip, and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
  • Remove the skewers from the air fryer and brush with some more sauce, top with greens. Serve immediately with desired sides.
