2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon salt
# Directions:
01 -
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes. Ensure uniform size for even cooking.
02 -
Combine chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate 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 marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for better air circulation. Avoid overcrowding.
05 -
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
06 -
Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
07 -
Once cooked, brush the chicken skewers generously with more Bang Bang sauce.
08 -
Serve hot, garnished with parsley or sesame seeds if desired, alongside extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
