- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce

How to Make Bang Bang Chicken Kebabs
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Adjust spice levels if needed. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Kebabs
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring even spacing for even cooking.
4. Grill the Kebabs
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a slight char.
5. Coat with Bang Bang Sauce
Once grilled, brush or drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the kebabs while they’re still hot. Alternatively, serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
