The creamy bang bang sauce complements the crispy chicken, making each bite flavorful and satisfying, all while being a healthier alternative to deep-fried options.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Skewers

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces, to ensure quick, even cooking and easier skewering.
  2. Coat with Cornstarch and Spices: Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch and garlic powder until lightly and evenly coated. This creates the crispy coating after air frying.
  3. Thread Chicken onto Skewers: Carefully thread the coated chicken chunks onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even heat circulation.
  4. Air Fry Chicken Skewers: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Place skewers in a single layer in the basket and cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While the chicken cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
  6. Toss and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, brush or drizzle the bang bang sauce over the skewers. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange skewers in a single layer for crispiness.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
  • Serve extra bang bang sauce on the side for dipping or additional drizzling.
  • Check chicken internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
