Equipment
- 1 grill or grill pan
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Marinade
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Make the marinade: in a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the chicken: add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to overnight.
- Prep the chicken and grill: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before you are ready to grill. Heat the grill to medium-hight heat and thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Grill the chicken: grill the chicken for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and transfer to a plate.
- Make the bang bang sauce: in a separate large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, lime juice, and sriracha. Transfer about ¼ of the sauce to a small or medium bowl and set aside for serving.
- Using a basting brush, brush the cooked chicken skewers with the remaining bang bang sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve with the bang bang sauce you had set aside.
Notes
Makes approximately 4-6 servings.
- You can substitute chicken breasts instead of thighs, but thighs will be juicier and have more flavor.
- Use dairy-free yogurt to keep this dairy-free.
- You can substitute agave nectar for the honey in the sauce.
