Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Thread the seasoned chicken onto wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes first).
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden.
- Meanwhile, make the bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
- Serve skewers drizzled with bang bang sauce or with sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before skewering. You can also use chicken thighs for more juiciness.
