01 -
680 grams boneless chicken breast or thigh, chopped into small chunks
02 -
3 tablespoons soy sauce
03 -
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
04 -
2 tablespoons honey
05 -
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
06 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
07 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 -
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Bang Bang Sauce
10 -
120 millilitres mayo
11 -
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
12 -
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon honey (totally optional for some extra sweetness)

0.5 teaspoon lime juice

Lime slices
# Instructions:
01 -
Once the skewers are done, place them on a serving tray. Pour the rest of your bang bang sauce over the top, add the herbs, and pop a few lime slices on the side. Dig in!
02 -
Put the skewers on the grill and let them cook for around 10 to 12 minutes. Flip them now and then so they get a nice char all around. Just before you pull them off, brush them with some sauce.
03 -
Start heating your grill or grill pan over medium-high. Brush a bit of oil on the grates so nothing sticks.
04 -
If your skewers are wooden, let them soak in water first so they don't burn. Now poke the marinated chicken chunks onto each skewer, making sure you leave gaps between so each piece gets cooked right.
05 -
Grab a new bowl. Whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, a splash of lime juice, and honey if you want it sweeter. Stir until it's blended smooth. Hang on to this for later.
06 -
In a big bowl, mix all the marinade stuff: soy sauce, sriracha, honey, vinegar, oil, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. Toss in the chicken, making sure every bit's coated. Cover it up and stick it in the fridge for at least a half hour—longer if you can wait, up to four hours.
# Notes:
01 -
Chilling the chicken in the marinade for four hours really packs it full of flavor!
