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 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
  • 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.
    wooden skewers
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Oven Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the skewers on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • 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.
