Ingredients:
- For the Chicken Kebabs:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- Wooden or metal skewers
- For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice until well combined. Adjust the Sriracha to your desired level of heat. Set aside half of the sauce for serving.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Add the remaining half of the Bang Bang sauce and mix until the chicken is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for best flavor.
- Prepare the Skewers:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between each piece.
- Grill the Kebabs:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
- Serve:
- Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the kebabs drizzled with the reserved Bang Bang sauce and enjoy them with a side of rice or a fresh salad.
