# Ingredients:

→ Chicken Marinade

01 - 680 g chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
02 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
04 - 2 tablespoons honey
05 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Bang Bang Sauce

10 - 120 ml mayonnaise
11 - 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
12 - 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
13 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
14 - 0.5 teaspoon lime juice

→ Garnish

15 - Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
16 - Lime wedges

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
02 - If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, ensuring some space between pieces for even cooking.
03 - Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, optional honey, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth. Reserve for serving.
04 - Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking grates to prevent sticking.
05 - Place chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally for even browning. During the final minutes, baste skewers generously with bang bang sauce.
06 - Transfer cooked skewers to a serving dish. Drizzle with remaining bang bang sauce, garnish with chopped herbs and serve with lime wedges.

# Notes:

01 - For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for the full 4 hours if time allows.
