Ingredients
- 1½ - 2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 Tablespoons sriracha
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, and all spices in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
- Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
- Heat grill to medium-high and oil grates. Grill 12-15 minutes, turning frequently, until chicken reaches 165°F.
- Rest 2-3 minutes before serving with sauce for dipping or over rice with vegetables.
Notes
- Use metal skewers if possible - wooden ones tend to burn even after soaking.
- Chicken thighs may need to be doubled over on skewers since they're thinner.
- Sauce can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator up to 1 week.
- Amount of desired heat can be adjusted by adding more or less Sriracha sauce.
