Ingredients
  

Chicken marinade and skewers
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast Cut into 1.5-inch cubes.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 salt Use to taste.
  • 0.5 black pepper Use to taste.
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder Use to taste.
  • wooden skewers Soak in water for 30 minutes.
Bang bang sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • sesame seeds For garnish.
  • green onions For garnish.
  • lime wedges For serving.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 grill

Method
 

Marinate the chicken
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then toss with the chicken cubes until evenly coated.
  2. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes.
Assemble and make the sauce
  1. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers.
  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice to make the bang bang sauce.
Grill and glaze
  1. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred.
  2. Brush the skewers generously with bang bang sauce during the final 2 minutes of grilling.
Serve
  1. Serve immediately with extra sauce for dipping, topping with sesame seeds and green onions and serving alongside lime wedges.

Notes

Pro tip: soak the wooden skewers for the full 30 minutes so they don’t scorch on the grill. Refrigerate leftover chicken and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days; reheat chicken until hot and re-glaze briefly. Freeze grilled chicken for up to 2 months (sauce texture may change—add fresh sauce when serving). For a lower-sugar option, use reduced-sugar sweet chili sauce while keeping the sriracha-honey balance.
