  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. Add chicken chunks and toss well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).
  2. Prepare the Skewers:
    Soak bamboo skewers in water (if using). Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, spacing them out slightly.
  3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (optional), and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Preheat the Grill:
    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  5. Grill the Skewers:
    Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste with bang bang sauce during the last few minutes.
  7. Serve:
    Transfer skewers to a serving plate, drizzle with more bang bang sauce, garnish with parsley or cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
