# How to Make It:

01 - If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

02 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

03 - In a large bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

04 - Thread the chicken pieces evenly onto the skewers.

05 - Grill chicken skewers for 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred on the edges (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

06 - While chicken is grilling, whisk together all Bang Bang sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

07 - Once skewers are done, brush or drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro or scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately with lime wedges if desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -

The sauce hits that perfect balance between creamy sweetness and a gentle heat that keeps you coming back for more
Everything comes together in 35 minutes but tastes like you spent all day planning it

02 -

Marinating the spiced chicken for up to 2 hours makes a huge difference in flavor penetration
The sauce thickens as it sits, so give it a quick stir before brushing onto the skewers

03 -

Use metal skewers if you have them, they conduct heat and cook the chicken from the inside out
Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute
