Instructions
Marinate Chicken
Begin by combining the chicken breast pieces with buttermilk and Sriracha in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated. Allow this to marinate at room temperature while setting up your grill.
Preheat Grill
Prepare your outdoor grill for medium heat, ensuring that it’s ready to cook the kebabs evenly.
Assemble Skewers
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers, alternating with red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion wedges, and mushrooms. Ensure a balanced distribution for even grilling and flavor.
Prepare Bang Bang Sauce
In a small bowl, combine Sriracha, sweet Thai chili sauce, soy sauce, mayonnaise, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well and reserve half of this prepared sauce for serving later.
Oil Grill
Once the grill is hot, oil the grates by using tongs to rub a folded paper towel soaked with vegetable oil. This step is crucial to prevent the skewers from sticking.
Grill Skewers
Carefully place the skewers on the oiled grill grates. Brush them with the prepared sauce, close the grill lid, and let them grill for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the skewers a quarter, brush again with the sauce, and continue grilling for another 2 to 3 minutes with the lid closed. Repeat this process of turning and brushing until all sides are lightly charred and the chicken is fully cooked. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Be attentive to flare-ups, moving the skewers to cooler areas if necessary.
Rest and Serve
Transfer the skewers onto a serving platter, covering them with foil. Let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for optimal flavor.
Garnish and Enjoy
Finish by garnishing with thinly sliced green onions and optional lime wedges. Serve these tasty skewers with the reserved Bang Bang sauce on the side for an extra kick.

This Bang Bang Chicken Kebabs recipe delivers a delicious and exciting meal, perfect for gathering the family around the table. Enjoy the wonderful melding of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors that each bite offers.
