Ingredients
Scale
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¼ cups (290 g) mayonnaise
- â…” cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Step: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken.
- Step: Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each.
- Step: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well. This will make about 1 ¾ cups bang bang sauce.
- Step: Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside to use after the chicken has been cooked. Use the rest of the sauce to brush evenly over the chicken.
- Step: Add the skewers to the basket of your air fryer in a single layer.
- Step: Air fry at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Step: Transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Oven instructions: Preheat to 400°F, place skewers on a parchment-lined sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Brush with sauce after cooking. Grill instructions: Grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, brushing with sauce after cooking.
