Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 Tablespoon Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 metal or wooden* skewers

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot chili sauce (adjust according to your preferred spice level)

Instructions

Chicken

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, avocado oil, Thai sweet chili sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until all of the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  • Thread 6 to 7 pieces of chicken onto each skewer. (Using 2 pounds of chicken, you'll have about 8 skewers.) Place the assembled skewers onto a large baking sheet.
  • Important* If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the chicken so the skewers don't catch on fire when cooking.

Bang Bang Sauce

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer about half of the bang bang sauce to a separate bowl and reserve it for serving. Brush the remaining sauce generously over the chicken skewers, making sure to coat all sides and in between each piece of chicken.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat. (You want to keep the heat on the medium heat so the sauce doesn't burn.) Grill the skewers for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Transfer the cooked skewers to a clean serving platter and serve warm with the reserved bang bang sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
