# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes. Ensure uniform size for even cooking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, honey, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
04 -
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding.
05 -
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
06 -
Place the skewers in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
07 -
Once cooked, brush the skewers with more Bang Bang sauce for additional flavor.
08 -
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired, with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
