Ingredients
  

Chicken Skewers:
  • 2 lbs of chicken breast chopped into 1-inch cubes
  • A pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a glossy finish
  • Skewers either wooden or metal, according to preference
Bang Bang Sauce:
  • ½ cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon sweet chili sauce for a tangy kick
  • 1 tablespoon honey for a touch of sweetness
  • 2 teaspoon sriracha sauce for a spicy zing
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice for a refreshing citrus note
For the Final Touch:
  • Fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • Green onions thinly sliced
  • A sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty crunch

Method
 

  1. Fire Up the Grill: Preheat your grill to a sizzling medium-high temperature. Season the chicken chunks with a dash of salt and pepper, then lovingly coat them in olive oil. Carefully thread the chicken onto your chosen skewers.
  2. Grill to Perfection: Place the skewers on the grill, cooking them for about 10-15 minutes. Turn them now and then, ensuring they cook evenly and earn those beautiful grill marks.
  3. Sauce Creation: While the chicken sizzles away, craft your Bang Bang sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice until perfectly blended.
  4. Add Some Flair: Once the chicken skewers are cooked through, brush them generously with your freshly made Bang Bang sauce. Let them grill for another 2 minutes to let the sauce caramelize slightly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Embellish your skewers with a scattering of chopped cilantro, slices of green onion, and a shower of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors.

Notes

  • Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha.
  • Can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred.
  • Ensure skewers are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
