These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are juicy, flavorful, and spicy, made with marinated chicken and a creamy, sweet-and-spicy sauce. Perfect as an appetizer or a main dish!
Ingredients
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 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
- 1 ¼ cups (290 g) mayonnaise
- ⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each soaked wooden skewer.
- In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey to make the bang bang sauce.
- Brush half of the sauce over the prepared chicken skewers.
- Air fry the skewers at 400°F (200°C) for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Serve hot with the reserved bang bang sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Soaking the skewers helps prevent burning in the air fryer.
