Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

🍽 Recipe of the Week features Fresh Ontario Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

👇🏻 Here’s a market fresh meal idea – Straight from Traeger’s website:

Ingredients: Serves 6

For the Chicken Skewers:

– 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or a mix of thighs and breasts), cut into 1-inch pieces

– 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

– 3 tbsp Traeger Chicken Rub (or your favourite poultry rub)

– Skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes first)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

– ¾ cup mayonnaise

– 1 cup sweet chili sauce

– 3 tbsp Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce (or a fruit-forward BBQ sauce)

– 1 tsp chili sauce (like sambal oelek or sriracha, to taste)

Directions:

Marinate the Chicken:

1. In a large bowl, combine diced chicken thighs, olive oil, and chicken rub. Toss until evenly coated.

2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours for deeper flavour).

Preheat Your Grill:

If using a Traeger, set it to 450°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

For gas or charcoal grills, aim for medium-high heat.

Make the Sauce:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, BBQ sauce, and chili sauce until smooth. Set aside.

Assemble the Skewers:

Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, pressing the pieces together so there are no gaps. This helps keep them juicy.

Grill the Skewers:

Place skewers directly on the grill. Cook for 12 minutes, turning once or until lightly charred on one side.

Sauce & Finish:

Flip the skewers, brush generously with the Bang Bang Sauce, and grill for another 6–8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Serve:

Remove from grill and brush with more sauce before serving. Serve hot and enjoy every sweet, smoky, spicy bite!
