Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Bang Bang Sauce
  • ½ cups mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoons Sriracha or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Mix diced chicken, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each skewer. (Soak skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.)
  3. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until well combined, yielding approximately 1 ¾ cups of bang bang sauce.
  4. Divide the sauce in half; place one portion in a separate bowl for later use. Brush the remaining sauce evenly over the chicken skewers.
  5. Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes.
  6. Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary based on your air fryer's size.
  7. Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Once done, transfer the skewers to a plate, generously brush them with the reserved bang bang sauce, and sprinkle parsley on top.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 5-7 chicken skewers.
  • Oven Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the skewers on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Grilling Instructions: Assemble the skewers as directed and grill over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Baste towards the end until sauce caramelizes and chicken reaches 165°F internally. Transfer to a platter, baste with reserved sauce, and serve.
