→ For the Bang Bang Sauce
07 -
½ cup mayonnaise (avocado oil-based preferred for low carb)
08 -
2 tbsp sugar-free sriracha or hot sauce
09 -
1 tbsp rice vinegar
10 -
1 tbsp powdered erythritol (or any low-carb sweetener)
11 -
1 tsp garlic powder
# Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
02 -
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
03 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken skewers for 4–5 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked through.
04 -
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all ingredients for the bang bang sauce in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
05 -
Drizzle the sauce over the grilled chicken skewers or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
For extra heat, add more sriracha or a dash of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
02 -
Chicken thighs offer more juiciness, but breasts work well for a leaner option.
03 -
These skewers can be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
