These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are a flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken dish, marinated in a tangy and slightly spicy mixture, then grilled to juicy perfection and topped with a creamy, zesty bang bang sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a summer barbecue, these skewers bring bold flavors and tender chicken to your table in just about 25 minutes of active cooking time.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes (including minimum marinating time)
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or any oil of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce

  • Bang bang sauce (store-bought or homemade, quantity as desired for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the mayonnaise, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, oregano, red chili flakes, paprika, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken.
  3. Thread the Chicken: Once marinated, thread the chicken cubes evenly onto bamboo or metal skewers for even cooking and easy grilling.
  4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char, about 10-15 minutes depending on heat and skewer thickness.
  5. Serve with Bang Bang Sauce: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, drizzled generously with bang bang sauce for a creamy, spicy finish that complements the grilled chicken perfectly.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for longer (up to overnight) for deeper flavor and tenderness.
  • If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Adjust the level of red chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Bang bang sauce can be made at home with mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha or purchased ready-made.
  • Can be served as an appetizer or main course with sides like rice or salad.
