Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Bacon

1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
10 strips smoky turkey bacon twists

Spicy Creamy Sauce

1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha (natural)
1 tablespoon honey (natural)
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Seasonings and Oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for grilling

Optional Garnishes

Chopped fresh cilantro
Toasted sesame seeds
Sliced green onions
Crushed roasted peanuts (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the chicken and bacon twists: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Wrap each piece with a strip of smoky turkey bacon twists to ensure a balance of protein and smoky flavor on each skewer.
Mix the creamy spicy sauce: In a bowl, combine plant-based mayonnaise, sriracha (natural), honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lime juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy with a spicy kick.
Assemble the skewers: Thread the chicken-bacon pieces onto wooden or metal skewers tightly for even grilling. Reserve some sauce for dipping or drizzling after cooking.
Grill the skewers: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Cook the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is slightly crispy.
Serve with extra sauce: Place cooked Bang Bang Chicken Skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle remaining spicy creamy sauce over the top or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs or toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Marinate the chicken pieces in some of the sauce for 30 minutes before skewering for enhanced flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut chicken into uniform size pieces for even cooking.
Use medium-high grill heat to cook chicken thoroughly and crisp bacon nicely.
Fresh lime juice brightens the sauce better than bottled varieties.
