Ingredients
1½–2 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1″ cubes
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
½ tsp salt
2 Tbsp hot honey (optional for extra sweetness)
Bang Bang Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
¼ cup Sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
Instructions
Toss chicken with oil, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, cayenne, and salt until evenly coated.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15–30 minutes.
Thread chicken onto soaked skewers.
In a bowl, whisk mayo, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and Sriracha to create bang bang sauce.
Reserve half the sauce for serving; brush remaining sauce over chicken.
To Grill: Cook over medium-high heat for 15–20 minutes, turning often, until chicken reaches 165°F.
To Air Fry: Cook skewers at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Drizzle with reserved sauce and optional hot honey before serving.
Notes
For milder flavor, skip cayenne and reduce Sriracha.
Regular honey works if hot honey isn’t available.
For best flavor, marinate chicken ahead of time.
Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 4 days.
Wooden skewers should be soaked to prevent burning.
