How to Make Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.

In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat or preheat your grill.

Cook the chicken skewers for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.

While the chicken cooks, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and hot sauce in a small bowl to make the bang bang sauce.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat and brush or drizzle the sauce over the skewers.

Serve warm with lime wedges or chopped green onions if desired.
