Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 salt to taste
  • 0.25 pepper to taste
  • 1 wooden skewers soaked
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
Garnish
  • 1 green onions
  • 1 sesame seeds

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Marinate and prep
  1. Season the chicken chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then let them marinate for 30 minutes to build flavor and help the exterior grill nicely.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces so they cook evenly on the grill.
Grill the skewers
  1. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through, turning for even browning (look for grill marks and no pink in the centers).
Make the bang bang sauce and finish
  1. Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and creamy, creating a white-orange drizzle-ready sauce.
  2. Drizzle bang bang sauce over the grilled skewers and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a bright finish and extra crunch.

Notes

Pro tip: so soak the wooden skewers thoroughly so they don’t char before the chicken is done. Store grilled chicken skewers in the refrigerator up to 3 days; the sauce keeps 4 days in a sealed container, but for best texture, reheat skewers gently. Freezing: cooked chicken can be frozen up to 2 months, though the sauce may loosen—freeze sauce separately if you want. Dietary swap: for a lighter option, use light mayonnaise to reduce calories while keeping the creamy spicy bang bang sauce.
