# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Grab your skewers, put them on a serving plate, splash on more bang bang sauce, finish with a hit of fresh herbs, and squeeze some lime over or put wedges on the side.
02 -
Let the skewers hit the hot grill. Turn them every few minutes so they get seared nicely on each side. Paint with some bang bang sauce just before pulling them off—grill for roughly 10-12 minutes all up.
03 -
Crank your grill or grill pan to medium-high and wait until it's pretty hot. Brush or spray just a bit of oil on the surface to stop things from sticking down.
04 -
Scoop your mayo into a new bowl, stir in sweet chili sauce, then dump in sriracha, lime juice, and honey if you feel like it. Mix until super creamy. Set it aside for later.
05 -
If you've got wooden skewers, let them soak in water so they won't char up. Thread on your chicken—don't squish too close, you want airspace so everything gets cooked right.
06 -
Throw soy sauce, sriracha, honey, vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper into a big bowl. Drop in your chicken and give it a wild toss to cover every bit. Chill it covered for at least half an hour—let it sit up to 4 hours if you can for max flavor.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you're not in a rush, let the chicken marinate for 4 hours. The taste gets way better the longer it soaks.
