1. Marinate the Chicken

Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F and cook skewers for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Oven: Preheat to 400°F, arrange skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
5. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Serve
Drizzle sauce over the skewers or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
