Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 lb chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 salt and pepper to taste
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
Skewers and garnish
  • 1 wooden skewers soaked
  • 1 green onions for garnish
  • 1 sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Marinate and skewer
  1. Season the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper so every piece looks evenly coated. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
  2. Thread the chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, packing pieces loosely so they grill evenly. Keep skewers chilled until ready to cook.
Grill the skewers
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place skewers on the grate. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side until chicken is cooked through and grill marks appear.
Make the bang bang sauce and finish
  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until the sauce turns smooth and creamy. Stop whisking once no streaks remain.
  2. Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the grilled skewers in a white-orange ribbon. Garnish immediately with green onions and sesame seeds, then serve hot.

Notes

Pro tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them long enough to prevent burning, and keep the chicken refrigerated while the grill heats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying. Freezing is not recommended because the sauce and chicken texture can change. For a lighter option, replace mayonnaise with light mayo to reduce total fat while keeping the spicy sweet flavor.
