Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

For the chicken:
1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper

For the bang bang sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp sriracha, more for extra heat
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp rice vinegar, optional

To finish:
2 tbsp sliced green onions
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Directions

If wooden, soak in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Toss cubed chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let rest 10 minutes.

Whisk mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Divide in half — one for basting, one for serving.

Add 5–6 chicken cubes per skewer with a little space between pieces.

Preheat to 400°F. Arrange skewers in a single layer and cook 8 minutes.

Brush with basting sauce, flip, brush the other side. Cook 5–7 more minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F.

Drizzle with reserved sauce, top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
