Step 1: Prep the Chicken Skewers.
For this recipe, I went with chicken thighs. I personally prefer thighs over breast as they are fattier and have more flavor. That said, feel free to use whichever cut you like most. Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes and season with Dad’s All Purpose rub. Mix it all together making sure you the seasoning is evenly distributed around all the pieces.
Next, skewer individual pieces of chicken onto a skewer stick and these are ready to hit the grill.

Recipe Tip
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water so they can absorb the moisture and not burn during the cooking process. I recommend using metal skewers. They are reusable and durable.

Dad’s Seasonings

Step 2: How to make bang bang sauce.
This simple bang bang sauce is creamy, savory and has a slight kick to it. It’s the perfect coating to the perfectly grilled chicken,
In a mixing bowl, add mayo, sriracha, sweet chili sauce and rice vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together and set aside.

Step 3: Grill the bang bang chicken skewers
Set the grill to high direct heat at 450 degrees and place the chicken skewers on the grill. Flip every minute for a total of 10 minutes or until the meat reaches 175 degrees internal temp. Before serving, brush the skewers with the bang bang sauce. The fire might start to flare up because of the fatty mayo so be careful not to overcook and burn the chicken.
Remove the bang bang chicken skewers off the grill and let the protein rest for 5 minutes. Before serving, add some chopped green onions and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use chicken breast instead? Yes, any chicken thigh recipe can be replaced with the breast. The breast is leaner than the thighs, therefore remove the meat at 160 degrees and let it rest. This will ensure a tender and juicy chicken breast.
Can I make this in the oven stove top? All my recipes can be replicated in the oven, stove top or gas grill. You do not need a big green egg or weber grill to replicate any of my recipes.
