Make easy, healthy Bang Bang Chicken Skewers in your oven. This recipe delivers the sticky, sweet, and spicy flavor of the takeout favorite without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 wooden or metal skewers
  • For the Bang Bang Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated. Thread the chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
  3. Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.
  4. While the chicken bakes, prepare the Bang Bang Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and smoked paprika until smooth.
  5. After the initial 12 minutes of baking, remove the skewers from the oven. Brush half of the Bang Bang Sauce evenly over all sides of the chicken.
  6. Return the skewers to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
  7. Switch the oven setting to broil (high). Place the baking sheet on the top rack, about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the sauce is slightly caramelized and bubbly. Do not let it burn.
  8. Remove the skewers from the oven. Brush the remaining sauce over the hot chicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve these oven baked chicken skewers over steamed rice or alongside a fresh cucumber salad for a complete meal.
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in half of the sauce mixture for 30 minutes before baking, reserving the rest for basting and serving.
  • If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the honey by half a tablespoon.
