1 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup thai sweet chili sauce

2 pounds chicken thighs, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Thread the chicken onto skewers. (How many skewers you make will be determined by how big the skewers are.) Set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Thai chili sauce, lime juice, and sriracha. Take about half of the sauce and set aside. Cover and refrigerate the remaining sauce.
1 cup mayonnaise, 2/3 cup thai sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 4 teaspoons sriracha
Heat a grill over medium-high heat. Add the skewers and cook, turning every 4-5 minutes, until cooked through. This should take about 15 minutes total.During the last 3-4 minutes, brush the chicken with the bang bang sauce that you set aside.
When done, remove from the grill. Serve the skewers with the remaining bang bang sauce for drizzling or dipping.

Notes

You can also use chicken breasts. They will overcook easier, though, so you'll want to keep an eye on them.

If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.

If using metal skewers, be careful removing and serving them - the metal will be HOT!

You can also make these in the air fryer or on a stove top grill. If using an air fryer, make sure your skewers fit in the basket.
