Instructions
Creating Bang Bang Chicken Skewers is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, chili paste, minced garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, coat them evenly with the marinade, and let them sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to a few hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).
4. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, proceed to the next step immediately.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
7. Cook: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is grilling, mix the remaining marinade with sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until just starting to simmer, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce.
9. Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with the warm sauce.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for an added burst of flavor and texture.
