Ingredients for Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Skewers Recipe:
Regarding the Chicken:
- 1 pound of 1-inch-cube-sized chicken breast
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- one tsp powdered garlic
- One tsp of paprika
- Water-soaked bamboo skewers, soaking for at least half an hour
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- one-half cup mayonnaise
- Two tsp sweet chilli sauce
- One spoonful of honey
- One lime juice, or to taste, two tablespoons of Sriracha
Directions:
- Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken cubes’ seasoning. Make careful to thoroughly mix so that the seasoning coats every item equally.
After soaking the bamboo skewers, thread the seasoned chicken onto them. You may need to trim the skewers to fit in your air fryer, depending on its size.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) before using. This aids in giving the chicken a great colour and uniform cooking.
Cook the Chicken:
- Prepare the chicken by putting the skewers inside the air fryer basket. To guarantee uniform cooking, make sure they don’t overlap.
- Cook the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating it halfway through, or until it’s cooked through and the edges are beginning to crisp up. A temperature of 165°F (74°C) should be reached inside.
Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:
While the chicken is cooking, make the Bang Bang Sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl. Adapt the Sriracha quantity to your preferred level of heat.
The sauce should be creamy and smooth after whisking.
Serving: Take the skewers out of the air fryer when the chicken has finished cooking.
Serve the Bang Bang sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle it over the chicken skewers.
As an optional garnish, add some sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
Tips for Perfection:
- Soak the Bamboo Skewers: To keep the skewers from burning in the air fryer, soak them in water.
room: To ensure that hot air circulates and cooks the chicken evenly, make sure there is room around each skewer in the air fryer. - Sauce Thickness: To give the sauce a tangier taste, you can dilute it somewhat with a little water or extra lime juice if it’s too thick.
Perfect for entertaining or a family supper, these Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Skewers deliver a great blend of convenience, speed, and taste. Savour the juicy crispness of air-fried chicken paired with the creamy, spicy blast of Bang Bang sauce!
