Bang Bang Chicken Kabobs

Bang bang chicken kabobs are grilled sweet-and-spicy skewers finished with a creamy bang bang sauce made from mayonnaise, sweet chili, sriracha, and honey. The chicken stays juicy while the peppers and onions char lightly, then everything gets a glossy orange-white drizzle.

Ingredients
  

Chicken and skewers
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 salt to taste
  • 0.5 pepper to taste
  • 1 bell peppers and onions for skewering
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
For grilling and serving
  • 1 wooden skewers soaked
  • 0.5 green onions garnish
  • 0.25 sesame seeds garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Season and marinate
  1. Season the cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Soak the wooden skewers while the chicken marinates so they don’t burn on the grill.
Assemble the kabobs
  1. Thread the chicken and the bell peppers and onions onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken
  1. Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Make the bang bang sauce and finish
  1. Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth and creamy.
  2. Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the grilled kabobs while they’re hot.
  3. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, then serve.

Notes

For the juiciest kabobs, keep them spread in a single layer while marinating and let the chicken hit the grill fully heated before you start timing. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days; freeze grilled kabobs without garnish for up to 2 months. If you want a lighter sauce, swap part of the mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt while keeping the rest the same.
