Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
These sweet and spicy chicken skewers are a crowd pleasing favorite for any backyard barbecue or casual dinner.
recipesbynani.comThere is something special about food on a stick that just makes everyone happy. These chicken skewers are marinated to perfection and get a nice char on the grill before being drizzled with that creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy Bang Bang sauce that everyone loves.
My top tip for this recipe is to soak your wooden skewers in water for thirty minutes before you start cooking. This keeps them from burning or catching fire while the chicken cooks over the high heat.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Fresh chopped green onions for garnish
- Wooden skewers
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Soak your wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least thirty minutes so they do not burn.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for twenty minutes.
- 3
While the chicken rests, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl to create the Bang Bang sauce.
- 4
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers.
- 5
Preheat your grill or a large grill pan over medium high heat.
- 6
Cook the skewers for about four to five minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- 7
Remove the skewers from the heat and generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken.
- 8
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
These skewers taste best when served right off the grill while the sauce is still cool and creamy. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them gently in the oven.
