👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine chicken cubes with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
2
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
3
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust spice/sweetness as desired.
5
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
6
Place skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary.
7
Air fry for 10-14 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
8
Transfer cooked chicken skewers to a clean bowl. Pour the prepared Bang Bang sauce over the warm chicken and gently toss until well coated.
9
Arrange on a serving platter, garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges and your desired sides.

Pro Tips

For a milder sauce, reduce the sriracha. For extra heat, add more. Chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the air fryer.
