Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

 

Ingredients

• wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Chicken

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
•  
• 
  
   

Bang Bang Sauce

• 1 ¼ cups (290 g) mayonnaise
• ⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons honey
•  
•  

• Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken.
  • Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well. This will make about 1 ¾ cups bang bang sauce.
  • Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside to use after the chicken has been cooked. Use the rest of the sauce to brush evenly over the chicken.
  • Add the skewers to the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. (Depending on the size of the air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
  • Air fry* at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.  Alternately, you can bake the chicken skewers in 400F oven for 30 to 40 minutes - turning once halfway through the cooking.
