Can I make Bang Bang Chicken Skewers in the oven?

Absolutely! Broil them on high, about 6 inches from the heat source, for 5–6 minutes per side. You'll still get a nice char, though not quite the same smoky flavor as the grill.

How spicy are these Bang Bang Chicken Skewers?

With 2 tablespoons of sriracha, they have a medium heat that most people can handle. Adjust down to 1 tablespoon for milder skewers or up to 3 for a real kick.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs for this recipe?

Yes, though chicken thighs stay juicier on the grill. If using breasts, consider marinating longer (at least 2 hours) and watch carefully to avoid overcooking.

What's the best way to tell when Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are done?

Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Visually, the chicken should be firm and no longer pink in the center.

Can I prepare Bang Bang Chicken Skewers ahead for a party?

Definitely! Marinate the chicken up to 24 hours ahead. You can even skewer the chicken in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until grilling time.

Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
Category: Dinner
Method: Grilled
Cuisine: Asian-Inspired

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
8–10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for dipping.
Add chicken, garlic, ginger, and green onions to the remaining sauce. Toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F).
Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces.
Grill skewers 4–5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and grill marks appear.
Brush with reserved sauce, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra green onions before serving. Serve with extra dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version. Chicken breast or tofu can be substituted. Great with coconut rice, slaw, or grilled veggies!
