Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha (or more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the cubed chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Make sure every piece is coated well.
  2. Thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each skewer until they’re nicely packed.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth. Set half of this sauce aside for later.
  4. Brush half of the sauce over the chicken skewers until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the skewers in your air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
  2. Air fry at 400°F for about 11-12 minutes. Flip them halfway to ensure even cooking. The goal is for the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle or brush with the reserved sauce. Serve them hot and enjoy!

Notes

If you have leftovers, allow the skewers to cool to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes at 350°F until heated through.
