Skewered chunks of chicken are slathered with sweet and tangy bang bang sauce and cooked until tender and caramelized. These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers can be served as an entrée or pile them on a platter for a fun party snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds, cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Sriracha (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Before beginning, place 8 skewers in a shallow dish and add enough water to cover. Soak for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the seasonings and toss again until well coated. Thread the chunks of chicken on to wooden skewers (4 to 5 per skewer).

  3. 3

    Place the skewers in a single layer in your air fryer (it's okay if they are touching as long as they are in a single layer). Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the skewers as directed and grill over MEDIUM-HIGH heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Baste the skewers towards the end of the cooking time and continue to cook until the sauce is nicely caramelized and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
