Equipment (affiliate links)

  • 1 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 grill

Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise (290 g)
  • 2/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken.
  • Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well. This will make about 1 3/4 cups bang bang sauce.
  • Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside to use after the chicken has been cooked. Use the rest of the sauce to brush evenly over the chicken.
  • Add the skewers to the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. (Depending on the size of the air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
  • Air fry* at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the seasoned cubes of chicken onto the skewers, then onto the lined baking sheet. (Do not brush the chicken with bang bang sauce until after baking in the oven.)
  • Cook the chicken skewers for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove from the oven. Brush with the bang bang sauce and serve.
  • Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers. (Wait until after grilling to brush with the bang bang sauce.) Grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Brush the grilled chicken with the bang bang sauce.
