Ingredients

  

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 tbsp Sriracha

1. Slice chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, aiming for uniform sizes. Season with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and diced red chili until smooth.

1. Generously coat both sides of the chicken skewers with the bang bang sauce.

1. Cook the skewers using your preferred method: Air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flip, then cook another 4–5 minutes; or stovetop on medium-high heat, searing chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.
