Ingredients needed for Bang Bang Chicken Recipe:

• 1 pound chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (This feeds only two people without any leftovers- I recommend you double the recipe)
• 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce
• 1 teaspoon of Sriracha Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon each Salt and pepper

Ingredients needed for Spicy Sriracha Sauce:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. This spicy sauce also works well with bang bang shrimp if you want to recreate the famous Bonefish Grill classic at home!

• 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
• 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Lime Juice

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the uncooked chicken in all of the ingredients of the marinade for 30 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, mix together the sauce ingredients. And If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak in warm water so they do not burn on the grill
3. After 30 minutes, heat the grill to high heat. Use a grill pan so the chicken does not slip through. Or use skewers to assemble the chicken. You may still want to use the grill pan. Spray the pan with spray oil.
4. Add the chicken skewers, or if using the grill pan, add the chicken all at once and separate.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the internal temperature is 165°F.

Grilling Tips and Hacks:

• Grill your skewers over medium-high heat, turning every 3-5 minutes, until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F for tender chicken. (Cooking times will vary based on whether you’re using skewers, a grill pan, or directly on the grill. Keep an eye on them to avoid drying out!
• If you’re using wooden skewers or bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Otherwise, metal skewers are an easy, reusable option.
