Baked bang bang chicken skewers are seasoned and baked until tender then brushed with a flavorful homemade bang bang sauce. This recipe is dairy free and gluten free.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into about 1.5-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce depending on preference
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Other
- wooden or metal skewers
- sliced green onions to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the chicken so they don't burn in the oven.
- Mix the olive oil, seasonings, and cubed chicken in a large bowl until evenly coated.
- Make the sauce by whisking the ingredients together then transfer 1/4 cup of the sauce to a separate bowl to brush the raw chicken with.
- Thread the seasoned chicken cubes onto the skewers then place them on the lined baking sheet with a little space in between. Bake for 13-15 minutes, brushing both sides of the chicken skewers with the reserved bang bang sauce halfway through.
- The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. If want your chicken pieces to have more charring or golden brown edges. Place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully so they don’t burn.
- Remove from the oven, brush with more bang bang sauce, top with green onions, and serve immediately.
