Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
Bang Bang Chicken Skewers: quick, flavorful air-fried chicken with homemade sauce. Perfect as an appetizer or main course!
Ingredients
- 10-12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1¼ cups mayonnaise
- ⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
- Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each soaked skewer.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth. Transfer half of the sauce to a separate bowl to reserve for serving; this will be used after the chicken is cooked.
- Use the remaining sauce to brush over the chicken skewers, coating them evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.)
- Air fry at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the cooked skewers to a plate and brush or drizzle with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
