Ingredients
Scale
Chicken & Marinade
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Bang Bang Sauce (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Other
- Wooden skewers, soaked for 30 minutes
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into even, bite-sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking. Place the pieces in a bowl for marinating.
- Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This mixture will infuse the chicken with balanced, savory flavors.
- Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring each piece is coated well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors soak in deeply.
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce (natural): Combine plant-based mayonnaise, honey, sriracha sauce (natural), and a splash of lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy, ready to enhance the skewers after grilling.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to cook evenly.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. Place the skewers and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and displays lovely grill marks.
- Serve with Bang Bang Sauce (natural): Remove the skewers from the grill and generously brush with the creamy, spicy sauce. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Cut chicken into similar sizes to cook evenly and avoid dryness.
- Always soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Use medium-high heat to get the perfect balance of cooked chicken and attractive grill marks.
- Serve extra bang bang sauce alongside for dunking and added creaminess.
- Let the grilled chicken rest a few minutes before serving to keep it juicy and flavorful.
