Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Bold, spicy-sweet flavor from the iconic Bang Bang sauce.
  • Perfectly grilled chicken with a caramelized glaze.
  • Fun, crowd-pleasing dinner idea for family or entertaining.
  • Can be made on the grill, stovetop, or in the oven.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1.5" cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and mix well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for best flavor).

Step 2: Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar. Taste and adjust spice level. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 3: Assemble the Skewers

Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.

Step 4: Grill or Cook the Chicken

  • Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  • Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and bake skewers for 20–22 minutes, turning halfway.
  • Stovetop: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook skewers 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.

Step 5: Glaze & Serve

Brush skewers generously with Bang Bang sauce and serve extra sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds if desired.

Servings and Timing

  • Servings: 4
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes (+30 min marinating)
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Conclusion

These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers deliver an irresistible combination of heat, sweetness, and creaminess all on a stick! Ideal for casual dinners, BBQs, or meal prep. Pair with rice, salad, or roasted veggies for a complete dinner idea you’ll make on repeat.

FAQs

Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?
Yes! Thighs are juicier, but breast works great for leaner skewers.

Is this recipe very spicy?
You can adjust the heat by reducing or increasing the Sriracha in the sauce.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Marinate chicken ahead and prepare sauce in advance. Cook skewers fresh for best texture.
