Ingredients
-
Chicken Skewers:
- 2 lbs of chicken breast, chopped into 1-inch cubes
- A pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning
- 1 tbsp of olive oil for a glossy finish
- Skewers (either wooden or metal, according to preference)
Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/2 cup creamy mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce for a tangy kick
- 1 tbsp honey for a touch of sweetness
- 2 tsp sriracha sauce for a spicy zing
- 1 tsp lime juice for a refreshing citrus note
For the Final Touch:
- Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- Green onions, thinly sliced
- A sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty crunch
Instructions
-
Fire Up the Grill: Preheat your grill to a sizzling medium-high temperature. Season the chicken chunks with a dash of salt and pepper, then lovingly coat them in olive oil. Carefully thread the chicken onto your chosen skewers.
-
Grill to Perfection: Place the skewers on the grill, cooking them for about 10-15 minutes. Turn them now and then, ensuring they cook evenly and earn those beautiful grill marks.
-
Sauce Creation: While the chicken sizzles away, craft your Bang Bang sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice until perfectly blended.
-
Add Some Flair: Once the chicken skewers are cooked through, brush them generously with your freshly made Bang Bang sauce. Let them grill for another 2 minutes to let the sauce caramelize slightly.
-
Garnish and Serve: Embellish your skewers with a scattering of chopped cilantro, slices of green onion, and a shower of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors.
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha.
- Can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred.
- Ensure skewers are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
