Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– ¼ cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
– 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating Bang Bang Chicken Skewers is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate: Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, mixing well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
4. Preheat Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. For an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Cook the Skewers: On the grill, place the skewers directly on the grates and cook for 6-8 minutes per side until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred. If using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
9. Garnish: Optional—sprinkle fresh cilantro over the skewers for an added touch of flavor.
10. Enjoy: Serve hot with additional sweet chili sauce or sriracha for dipping, if desired.
