Ingredients:
Chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
Marinade:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Bang Bang Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Garnish:
- Chopped green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Make the Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Cook Time: Grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked and slightly charred. Alternatively, bake in a 400-degree F (200 degrees C) oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Brush the cooked chicken skewers with the Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with extra sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips:
- Use metal skewers or soak wooden ones in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Adjust the heat level of the Bang Bang sauce using more or less Sriracha.
- Serve the skewers over rice, noodles, or salad for a complete meal.
