Ingredients:
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 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:
- 1 ¼ cups (290 g) mayonnaise
- ⅔ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions:
1. Prep the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, coat the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
2. Assemble the Skewers:
- Thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each soaked wooden skewer.
3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Stir well to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
4. Brush the Chicken:
- Brush half of the prepared Bang Bang sauce over the chicken skewers. Save the other half of the sauce for dipping later.
5. Air Fry the Skewers:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Air fry the skewers for 11-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and have a crispy golden exterior.
6. Serve & Enjoy:
- Serve the skewers with the reserved Bang Bang sauce for dipping. They make a great appetizer or main course!
