Ingredients
500g boneless chicken thighs or breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
1. Trim and cut the chicken into evenly sized chunks.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Toss the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
4. While marinating, prepare the Bang Bang sauce: whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice.
5. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
6. Preheat grill to medium-high and cook skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
7. Brush skewers with Bang Bang sauce in the final minute of grilling.
8. Serve hot with extra sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
Don’t skip the sauce brush at the end—it caramelizes perfectly over the grill heat.
