Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion granules
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped
Bang Bang Sauce Ingredients
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • cup Sweet chili sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup Sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules

Method
 

  1. Combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and garlic granules in a bowl. Stir well. Cover the sauce with plastic film and refrigerate until needed to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cut boneless chicken thighs into 1-1½ inch bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Season with Cajun seasoning, onion and garlic granules, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
  3. Thread the seasoned chicken onto metal skewers until all chicken is used.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400F (200C) for 3-5 minutes. Carefully arrange chicken skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for 8-12 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165F (74C) and no longer pink, flipping halfway through.
  5. While skewers cook, remove the sauce from the fridge. Add chopped parsley and mix to combine.
  6. Carefully remove skewers from the air fryer and place on a plate. Brush each hot chicken skewer with bang bang sauce for better flavor absorption. Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve chicken skewers hot with additional bang bang sauce for dipping. Squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the chicken for extra freshness. Enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that sometimes I'm not feeling quite as much heat, so I'll dial back the Sriracha by a tablespoon or two and add a little more sweet
