Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the skewers for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the bang bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a separate bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, brush some of the bang bang sauce over the skewers for added flavor.
Serve the skewers with extra sauce drizzled on top and garnish with chopped green onions.

These Bang Bang Chicken Skewers can be served in several creative ways. Pair them with warm tortillas for a fun and interactive meal, or lay them over a bed of jasmine rice to soak up the delicious sauce. They also make for a great appetizer at parties—just cut the skewers into bite-sized pieces for easy snacking. Consider serving them alongside a fresh green salad or grilled veggies for a complete meal.

Storage Tips

Got leftovers? No problem! To keep Bang Bang Chicken Skewers fresh longer, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay good for about 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the cooked skewers. When reheating, always ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature before serving.

Tips and Tricks

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes before grilling.
Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes ahead of grilling to prevent them from burning.
If you prefer a meatier sauce, add more sriracha or a hint of garlic powder to the bang bang sauce for extra depth.

Creative Twists

Looking to mix things up? Here are a few variations to try:

Swap chicken for shrimp or beef for a change in flavor.
Add pineapple chunks to the skewers for a sweet twist.
Experiment with different sauces; try a spicy peanut sauce instead of bang bang for a new take.
