Instructions
- Make the sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
- Season the chicken: Toss the cubed chicken with salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Marinate: Add 4-5 tablespoons of bang bang sauce to the chicken, mix well, and let sit for 10-15 minutes (or overnight).
- Thread onto skewers: Soak bamboo skewers if using, then add 6-8 pieces of chicken per skewer.
- Grill: Heat a BBQ grill to medium-high. Cook skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Glaze & Serve: Brush the cooked skewers with extra sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve hot!
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer. The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Skewers can be prepped in advance for convenience.
