Ingredients
  

Kabobs
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bell peppers and onions cut for skewering
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
To serve & skewer setup
  • 1 wooden skewers soaked
  • 1 green onions garnish
  • 1 sesame seeds garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Marinate and season the chicken
  1. Season the cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Soak the wooden skewers so they don’t scorch on the grill.
Build the kabobs
  1. Thread the chicken and bell peppers and onions onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
Grill the kabobs
  1. Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through with lightly charred edges.
Mix and finish with bang bang sauce
  1. Stir together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth and creamy.
  2. Drizzle bang bang sauce over the grilled kabobs while they’re hot.
  3. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a bright finish.

Notes

For best texture, let the chicken rest on the skewers for 2 minutes after grilling so the juices settle before saucing. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days; freeze the cooked kabobs without the sauce for up to 2 months. If you want a lighter option, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt-based mayo-style dressing for a tangy, creamy sauce.
