Make these irresistible Bang Bang Chicken Skewers for a meal that balances sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors. You get juicy chicken on a stick, perfect for weeknight dinners, BBQs, or as a party appetizer. We include instructions for grilling, air frying, and baking so you can cook them your way.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10–12 wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden ones in water for 30 minutes)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it sit while you prepare the sauce.
  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey until completely smooth. This is your creamy, spicy sauce.
  3. Marinate (Optional but recommended): Reserve about 1/4 cup of the Bang Bang Sauce for drizzling later. Toss the seasoned chicken pieces with half of the remaining sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto your prepared skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
  5. Cook the Skewers (Choose your method):
    • Grill Method: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
    • Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C). Place the skewers in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
    • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Sauce and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, brush the hot skewers with the remaining reserved Bang Bang Sauce. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can lightly brush the skewers with the remaining marinade during the last few minutes of cooking on the grill or in the oven.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat sauce, substitute half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • These skewers pair well with white rice or a simple cucumber salad for a complete meal.
