Make simple, flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Skewers perfect for grilling or baking. This recipe includes a creamy, spicy sauce and incorporates twelve fresh tomatoes for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 small Roma or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak them for 30 minutes)
  • For the Bang Bang Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Assemble the skewers: Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with the twelve tomatoes. Aim for 3-4 pieces of chicken and 2-3 tomatoes per skewer.
  3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. This is your creamy spicy chicken marinade base.
  4. Cook the skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. If grilling: Place skewers on the oiled grates and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  6. If baking: Arrange skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked.
  7. Glaze the skewers: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously on all sides with half of the prepared Bang Bang Sauce.
  8. Serve: Remove the chicken and tomato skewers from the heat. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the hot skewers before serving. These party appetizer chicken skewers are best served immediately.

Notes

  • For make ahead chicken skewers, you can assemble them up to 4 hours in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer an air fryer chicken skewers recipe, cook at 380°F (195°C) for 12-15 minutes, brushing with sauce halfway through.
  • You can use the remaining sauce as a dipping sauce for your saucy glazed chicken kebabs.
