If you’re looking for a flavorful, slightly spicy, and totally satisfying grilled appetizer, these Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are it. Tender pieces of chicken seasoned and cooked to perfection, then drizzled with a creamy, sweet-heat bang bang sauce that takes everything up a notch. They’re quick to prep, fun to serve, and perfect for everything from weeknight dinners to casual cookouts.
Helpful Tips
- Soak your skewers: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Cut chicken evenly: Try to cut the chicken into uniform pieces so everything cooks at the same rate and stays juicy.
- Sauce timing matters: Brush the bang bang sauce on after grilling to keep it from burning—plus, you get that signature creamy texture right on top.

Bang Bang Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut into 4-5 strips
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha divided
- 1 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- This is a chicken skewer shortcut. First slice each chicken breast into 5 long strips. Stick 5 skewers, spaced about an inch apart, through all of the strips. Cut between the skewers to make 5 separate skewers of chicken. Continue to do this with each large chicken breast you're using. 2 large chicken breasts can make 10 skewers.
- In a 9×13” dish, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, rice vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. Set the chicken skewers into the dish and roll them around in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- For the Bang Bang sauce, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon Sriracha, and remaining 1 teaspoon honey.
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Oil the grates so the chicken doesn’t stick. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side. Baste the skewers with the sauce and continue cooking for 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill.
- Baste the chicken again with the sauce, then garnish with green onions. Serve with the rest of the sauce on the side.
