Ingredients

  • wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, oil, lime juice, chipotle powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the chicken.
  • Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well. This will make about 1 ¾ cups bang bang sauce.
  • Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside to use after the chicken has been cooked. Use the rest of the sauce to brush evenly over the chicken.
  • Add the skewers to the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. (Depending on the size of the air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
  • Air fry* at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
