Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Method
 

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Thread the seasoned chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
  6. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
  7. While the chicken cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a bowl until smooth.
  8. Brush the cooked chicken skewers generously with the bang bang sauce.
  9. Serve warm with extra sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Cut chicken pieces evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper airflow and crispiness.
  • Flip the skewers halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Use a meat thermometer if needed to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh lime juice adds brightness and balances the creamy sauce.
  • Brush extra sauce on after cooking for stronger flavor and a glossy finish.
