Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Cut chicken into 1–1.5 inch cubes for even cooking.
- Toss with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Let sit for 10–15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the fridge.
- Tip: Short marinades penetrate the surface quickly — cutting tight, uniform pieces ensures consistent cook time.
Making the Bang Bang Sauce
- Whisk mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or heat.
- Tip: If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time to reach desired drizzling consistency.
Cooking
- Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a small space between pieces.
- Grill over medium-high heat or sear in a hot cast-iron pan with a little oil: about 3–4 minutes per side until internal temp reads 165°F (74°C).
- Tip: Resist the urge to move the chicken too early — a proper sear forms the caramelized crust that contrasts the creamy sauce.
Finishing and Serving
- Brush skewers with sauce or serve sauce on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and an extra squeeze of lime.
Notes
For extra kitchen tips, try pacing your workflow: sauce first, then chop, then marinate — this assembly-line method cuts wasted time.
