Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
02 -
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
03 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper
→ Bang Bang Sauce
08 -
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise (290 g)
09 -
⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
10 -
2 teaspoons Sriracha, adjust to taste
11 -
2 tablespoons honey
# Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken.
02 -
Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each soaked wooden skewer.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well. Divide the sauce in half, reserving one portion for serving.
04 -
Brush the chicken skewers with half of the prepared bang bang sauce.
05 -
Add the skewers to the basket of an air fryer in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
06 -
Transfer the cooked skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning during cooking.
02 -
Use an oven at 400°F (200°C) as an alternative if an air fryer is not available.
