Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Skewers
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Wooden or metal skewers
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
- 2 tbsp sriracha (natural)
- 1 tbsp honey (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Seasonings and Garnish
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized bite-sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder to build the base flavor before grilling.
- Thread Chicken onto Skewers: Carefully thread the chicken pieces onto wooden or metal skewers, leaving space between pieces for even heat distribution and cooking.
- Mix the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together plant-based mayonnaise (natural), sriracha (natural), honey (natural), apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy to create the signature spicy sauce.
- Grill the Chicken Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and has beautiful grill marks.
- Coat and Serve: Brush the grilled skewers generously with the Bang Bang sauce to coat each piece with the creamy spicy glaze. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use uniform chicken pieces to ensure even cooking and juicy results.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust sauce consistency with a small amount of natural gelling agent if a thicker sauce is desired.
- Remove skewers from heat once juices run clear to avoid drying out the chicken.
- Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are best served fresh off the grill while the sauce is warm and silky.
