It’s All About A Good Recipe: Bang Bang Chicken

I found this recipe earlier this year and have made it at least 12 times. It was a good find for sure! I also double the bang bang sauce (which I think is also called yum yum sauce at some restaurants) almost always and sometimes I even triple it like today. I have some medal skewers that I use but I have used wooden ones before, if you are are using wooden skewers make sure you soak them in water for at least 30 minute’s because they will catch on fire possibly not all of them but let’s just say I’ve had it happen. 😅

Trader Joe’s is a great place to get the Sriracha and Sweet Chili sauce! They have a Thai one but I generally just get the Sweet Chili sauce. They are good and much cheaper than the grocery however you can get both at a grocery store.

Bang Bang Chicken

2 lbs Chicken breasts, boneless skinless - cut into medium size cubes

2 tbsp Honey

1 1/4 cups Mayonnaise

2 tsp Sriracha

2/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

1/2 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tbsp Olive oil, extra virgin

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes

Marinate chicken cubes for at least 2-4 hours or over night. Use part of the sauce for marinating then reserve part for dipping.

Add marinaded chicken cubes to the skewers about 5-6 to each skewer then grill till they are done.

Right before you take off grill brush some more marinade - yum yum sauce on the chicken while hot. I let it set there a few minutes before I take it off the grill.

You can also keep the chicken in the marinade for a couple of days before you grill it or like today I grilled half of the chicken and I’ll grill the other half in a day or 2.
