Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha (or Chili Garlic Sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (for marinade)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (for marinade)
  • 1 clove minced garlic (for marinade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (for marinade)
  • Freshly chopped green onions (scallions) for garnish
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes) or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting your boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts dry with paper towels. Cut them into approximately 1-inch cubes.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with about 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, 1 clove of minced garlic, and a half teaspoon of sesame oil. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  3. Soak the Skewers: If you’re using bamboo skewers, place them in a shallow dish or pan and cover them completely with water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Thread the Chicken: Once the chicken has marinated and the skewers are soaked, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  6. Grill the Skewers: For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates and place the chicken skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, and brush with half of the prepared Bang Bang sauce during the last 2-3 minutes.
  7. Bake the Skewers: For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, place an oven-safe wire rack on top, and arrange the chicken skewers on the rack. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, and brush with half of the prepared Bang Bang sauce during the last 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish & Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven. Drizzle the remaining Bang Bang sauce over the cooked skewers and garnish with freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure to pat the chicken dry before marinating and using a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
