Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Thread the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
- Baste with Sauce: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken skewers generously with the Bang Bang sauce, turning to coat all sides.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra Bang Bang sauce on the side.
Notes
Use Quality Ingredients:
- Fresh chicken, high-quality mayonnaise, and fresh lime juice will significantly enhance the flavor of your Bang Bang Chicken Skewers.
Customize Your Spiciness:
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the Bang Bang sauce to suit your heat tolerance. Add more for extra spice or reduce for a milder flavor.
Baste During Grilling:
- Brush the skewers with Bang Bang sauce during the last few minutes of grilling to create a caramelized, flavorful coating.
Serve Immediately:
- Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are best served hot off the grill. Prepare your side dishes ahead of time so you can enjoy the skewers while they’re fresh and juicy.
Pair with Dips:
- Serve with additional Bang Bang sauce, or try a cooling yogurt dip or an extra spicy chili sauce to enhance the dining experience.
