Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
- 2 tbsp Sriracha (natural)
- 1 tbsp honey (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (natural)
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
Garnishes
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes to ensure quick and even cooking. Pat them dry thoroughly to help the marinade adhere better, which results in juicy inside and slightly crispy on the outside when grilled.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine plant-based mayonnaise (natural), Sriracha (natural), honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder (natural), lime juice (natural), and natural gelling agent. Stir the mixture until smooth and slightly thickened, making it perfect for coating the chicken evenly.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the sauce and toss thoroughly so every piece is generously coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow deep flavor absorption and tenderizing of the chicken.
- Thread and Grill: Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, avoiding overcrowding. Grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to develop attractive grill marks and ensure even cooking.
- Garnish and Serve: After grilling, drizzle extra Bang Bang sauce over the skewers. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves on top. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the creamy, spicy, and crunchy experience.
Notes
- Use skinless chicken breast for better sauce absorption and quicker grilling.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust sauce thickness by adding more plant-based mayonnaise (natural) or natural gelling agent if desired.
- Keep grill temperature medium to avoid burning the sauce while ensuring chicken is fully cooked.
- Prepare the Bang Bang sauce a day ahead to deepen flavors before marinating.
