Description
Deliciously crispy chicken skewers with a sweet and spicy bang bang sauce, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (soaked in water if using wooden ones)
- For the bang bang sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- Sriracha or another hot sauce to taste
- 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes; longer is better.
- Thread the skewers: Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are snug but not too tight.
- Air fry the skewers: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Make the bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the skewers hot with a generous drizzle of the bang bang sauce or as a dip on the side.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours beforehand. Soaking wooden skewers helps prevent burning.
