Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

Bang Bang Chicken Skewers in the air fryer and in under 30 minutes! This easy and healthy dinner packs so much flavor from the creamy bang bang sauce that’s a bit spicy and a bit sweet. Serve it with rice and some steamed broccoli for the complete meal!

The Bang Bang Sauce

Bang bang sauce is one of my favorite sauces or condiments. It’s both tangy and sweet with just a slight kick from the chili! Here are all the ingredients you need:

• mayonnaise
• sweet chili sauce
• minced garlic
• rice vinegar
• sriracha
• chopped parsley
• red pepper flakes, optional

To a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sriracha, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes until you have a super smooth sauce. Set aside when it’s done. This sauce is not only delicious drizzled on top of these skewers but also so good if you toss some wings in it, fried chicken or shrimp, or even as a dip for egg rolls or rangoons.

Making The Skewers

Let’s start with the marinade first! The marinade is pretty simple and honestly makes the chicken so good as is without the bang bang sauce. The sauce does not get added until after cooking. Here’s everything you need for the marinade:

• low sodium soy sauce
• oyster sauce
• garlic paste
• ginger paste
• chili powder
• smoked paprika
• red pepper flakes
• salt
• black pepper
• brown sugar

Just chop some boneless skinless chicken thighs and add to a bowl with all the ingredients above and mix all together well. Thread onto skewers, adding as much or as little chicken as you like to every skewer. Pop in the air fryer to roast at 400°F for 13 to 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked, golden, crispy, and charred. Add a drizzle of the bang bang sauce on top of each skewer and finish off with some chopped green onions to enjoy.

Serving Bang Bang Chicken

My favorite way to enjoy these skewers is with steamed jasmine rice and veggies like broccoli. You can also have it with coconut rice if you want to be a bit more fancy. I also love making a salad to eat with it. The salad has cabbage, carrots, butter lettuce, cucumber, green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, wonton strips, and a sweet and spicy peanut dressing. However you eat it, these bang bang chicken skewers will be so good, that it becomes a dinner on repeat.
