The Allure of Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

What elevates these chicken skewers apart from the rest? The bang bang sauce—a fiery blend of creamy mayo, sriracha, and a hint of sweetness—that clings to each smoky, juicy bite. Paired with the easy prep and hands-off cooking by using an COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey, you can have a restaurant-worthy, crowd-pleasing dish on the table in under 40 minutes.

Simple Prep for Flavorful Results

Great skewers start with uniform pieces of chicken and finely chopped vegetables. A Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper helps you quickly dice bell peppers, onions, and other veggies, ensuring even cooking and beautiful presentation. Marinate your chicken pieces in a blend of garlic, soy sauce, and chili paste for a juicy, flavorful result before threading onto skewers with colorful vegetables.

Cooking Chicken Skewers to Perfection

For the easiest, most consistent results, an air fryer like the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey lets you achieve a gorgeous golden char and crispy edges without standing over a grill. Line your basket with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet sheets for easy cleanup. If you don’t have an air fryer, a grill pan or skillet, such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, also works beautifully.
