Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Chicken Skewers
  • 1 lb cubed chicken breast use boneless, skinless for quick cooking
  • Skewers (wooden or metal) Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes

Method
 

Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the bang bang sauce.
  2. Taste and adjust the sriracha a little at a time. It is easy to tame the heat and still keep the flavor bright.
Coat the Chicken
  1. Toss the cubed chicken in half of the bang bang sauce until well-coated.
  2. Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes if you can. A short rest helps the sauce cling and makes the flavor deeper.
Skewer the Chicken
  1. Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  2. Let kids help with safe tasks like pushing the chicken onto the skewer.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  3. Check one piece for doneness. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve
  1. Serve with the remaining bang bang sauce for dipping.
  2. Arrange on a large platter with small bowls of extra sauce, sliced cucumbers, and steamed rice on the side.

Notes

Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or in the air fryer for 4-6 minutes.
