Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
Tender, juicy chicken cubes marinated in spices and served with a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce. Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Skewers
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the Bang Bang Sauce
- 1 ¼ cups (290 g) mayonnaise
- ⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken.
- Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each skewer.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well to make the bang bang sauce.
- Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl to use later and brush the remaining sauce evenly over the chicken.
Cooking
- Add the skewers to the basket of your air fryer in a single layer.
- Air fry at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
For more flavor, consider marinating the chicken in oil and spices for a couple of hours. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
