tips to make Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to stop burning.
• Cut chicken pieces the same size so they cook evenly.
• Watch the grill so the sauce does not burn. Brush sauce on at the end or serve it on the side.
• Taste the sauce and add more sriracha if you want more heat, or more sweet chili sauce if you want it sweeter.

variation (if any)

• Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for more flavor and juiciness.
• Add sliced bell peppers and red onion on the skewers for color and crunch.
• Make a lighter sauce by using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
