Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless; feel free to substitute with tofu for a vegan twist) Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar) Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For coating the chicken
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if grilling)
For the Bang Bang sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (try vegan mayo for a plant-based option)
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice tolerance)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (fresh is best)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat frying oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Remove chicken from buttermilk and toss in the flour mix until well-coated.
  3. Carefully add coated chicken pieces onto skewers.
  4. Add skewers to the hot oil, cooking for 3–4 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  5. Whip up the Bang Bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl and adjust flavors as needed.
  6. Once the chicken skewers are cooked through, drizzle with the sauce or serve on the side.
