Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce

1/2 cup Mayonnaise

Method

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside half of the sauce for serving.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken generously with the first half of the Bang Bang sauce.
Remove the chicken from the grill once the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Drizzle the remaining fresh sauce over the skewers and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For a lower calorie version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise in the sauce recipe. Serve over jasmine rice or a crisp cucumber salad.
