# Ingredients:
→ Chicken and Seasonings
01 -
1½-2 lbs chicken thighs, cubed into 1 inch pieces
02 -
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
03 -
1 tsp paprika
04 -
1 tsp garlic powder
05 -
1 tsp black pepper
06 -
½ tsp cayenne pepper
07 -
½ tsp salt
08 -
2 Tbsp hot honey
→ Bang Bang Sauce
09 -
1 cup mayonnaise
10 -
2 Tbsp lime juice, fresh squeezed
11 -
⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
12 -
¼ cup Sriracha
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken thighs, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
02 -
Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto skewers, filling them about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way.
03 -
In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice. Divide the sauce into two portions, saving one for dipping and glazing after cooking.
04 -
Brush the skewered chicken with one portion of the Bang Bang sauce. Grill over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, turning often, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Brush with sauce during grilling for caramelization.
05 -
Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
06 -
Drizzle or brush the cooked skewers with the reserved Bang Bang sauce and additional hot honey if desired. Serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Soak the wooden skewers in water before use to prevent burning.
02 -
Adjust spice level by omitting cayenne pepper, hot honey, and reducing Sriracha.
03 -
Reheat skewers at 350°F in an air fryer for 3 minutes or warm in a microwave.
