Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Bang Bang Sauce
  • ½ cups mayonnaise
  • cup Thai sweet chili sauce

  1. Mix together diced chicken, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the chicken is evenly coated.
    1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  2. Thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each skewer, working through them one at a time. Tip: To prevent skewers from burning, soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes before use.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until well combined, yielding approximately 1 ¾ cups of bang bang sauce.
    ½ cups mayonnaise, ⅓ cup Thai sweet chili sauce, 1 teaspoons Sriracha, 1 tablespoons honey
  4. Divide the sauce in half, placing one portion in a separate bowl for later use. Use the remaining sauce to brush over the chicken skewers, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes.
  6. Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary depending on the size of your air fryer.
  7. Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it's thoroughly cooked.
  8. Once done, transfer the skewers to a plate and generously brush them with the reserved bang bang sauc and sprinkle parsley on top.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 5-7 chicken skewers.

  • Grilling Instructions: Assemble the skewers as directed and grill over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Baste towards the end until sauce caramelizes and chicken reaches 165°F internally. Transfer to a platter, baste with reserved sauce, and serve.
