Ingredients
  

Kabobs
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 salt to taste
  • 1 pepper to taste
  • 1 bell peppers and onions for skewering
  • 1 onions and bell peppers for skewering
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
To assemble
  • 1 wooden skewers soaked
  • 1 green onions for garnish
  • 1 sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 grill

Method
 

Prep & marinate
  1. Season the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring the cubes are evenly coated for even seasoning and browning.
  2. Thread the chicken cubes and the bell peppers and onions onto wooden skewers, leaving small gaps so heat circulates around each piece.
  3. Rest the skewers for 30 minutes to marinate so the flavors cling to the chicken.
Grill
  1. Preheat the grill and grill the kabobs over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred.
Make sauce & finish
  1. Mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth and pourable.
  2. Drizzle bang bang sauce over the grilled kabobs while hot so it clings to the chicken.
  3. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a fresh finish and added texture.

Notes

For the most consistent grilling, keep skewers similar in thickness and spacing so they cook at the same rate. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freeze the cooked kabobs for up to 2 months (add sauce after thawing for best texture). For a lighter option, swap mayonnaise for light mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt thinned with a spoon of extra sweet chili sauce.
