# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Submerge wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, parsley, chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Divide sauce in half, reserving one portion for serving.
04 -
Thread 5–7 marinated chicken cubes onto each soaked skewer or metal skewer.
05 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a rack over the sheet.
06 -
Place skewers in a single layer on the prepared sheet and brush with half of the bang bang sauce. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
07 -
Remove from oven and brush skewers with the reserved sauce. Serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
02 -
Ensure even spacing on skewers for uniform cooking.
03 -
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without overcooking.
