Expert Cooking Tips

Bang Bang Chicken Skewers are simple, but a few expert tips can elevate the dish. Use high-quality chicken for tender, juicy skewers. Soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prevents burning. Adjust sriracha for desired spice intensity, and brush skewers generously with sauce for extra flavor. For crispy edges, use a grill or air fryer. Serve immediately after cooking to preserve texture and maximize flavor.

💡 Expert Tips:

• Use fresh chicken and uniform cubes for even cooking.
• Soak wooden skewers to avoid burning.
