Ingredients

1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into 1 to 1.5-inch chunks)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

8-10 skewers (wooden or metal; soak wooden skewers in water if using)

½ cup mayonnaise (or use ¼ cup mayo + ¼ cup Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or lime juice)

1 tablespoon chopped green onions

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Prep the chicken:

Cut the chicken into 1 to 1.5-inch chunks. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss in olive oil.

Make the sauce:

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and vinegar until smooth. Adjust spiciness or sweetness to taste.

Assemble the skewers:

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.

Grill the chicken:

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Add the sauce:

Brush skewers with bang bang sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, or drizzle sauce on top after removing from the grill.

Serve immediately:

Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve extra sauce on the side.
