Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• 2 lb skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-size pieces)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• Lime wedges (to garnish)
• Chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for seasoning the chicken: chicken pieces, oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure the chicken pieces are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. 2

   Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto wooden or metal skewers, pushing them to the ends of the skewers. Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, prepare the bang bang sauce: Combine mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and creamy. Save half of the prepared sauce to use later.

4. 4

   Brush the remaining bang bang sauce over the threaded chicken evenly.

5. 5

   Preheat a griddle or grill pan. Place the threaded chicken skewers on the griddle or grill pan and cook for 6-8 minutes. Flip to the other side, brush again with the bang bang sauce, and cook for an additional 8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

6. 6

   Transfer the cooked chicken skewers to a serving plate, drizzle the remaining bang bang sauce over the skewers, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
