Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (or more, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for grilling
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for better flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Cover and refrigerate.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving space between each piece.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
- Brush the chicken skewers with vegetable oil and place them on the grill.
- Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a char. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the skewers with the Bang Bang sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For extra heat in the sauce, you can increase the sriracha or add more red pepper flakes.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the skewers to ensure even cooking.
- Using a meat thermometer helps to prevent overcooking the chicken.
