Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Heat olive oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).

3. Add minced garlic, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and flavorful.

2. Prepare the Filling

1. If desired, mix the cooked chicken with mayonnaise or cream cheese for extra creaminess.

2. Add half of the shredded cheese to the chicken mixture and stir until the cheese melts slightly.

3. Assemble the Wraps

1. Warm the tortillas in a microwave or skillet to make them pliable.

2. Place a portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

3. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top (optional).

4. Add diced tomatoes, lettuce, or other veggies if desired.

5. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly to form a wrap.

4. Optional Step: Crisp the Wraps

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with oil or butter.

2. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Tips & Variations

• Make It Healthier: Use whole wheat tortillas and add spinach or avocado.

• Spice It Up: Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

• Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and assemble the wraps when ready to eat.

• Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for grilled veggies or plant-based chicken alternatives.

Whether you’re hosting a party or just craving something delicious, this recipe is a must-try. Let’s fire up the grill (or oven) and get started!

Why Bang Bang Chicken?

Bang Bang Chicken gets its name from the explosive flavors of its signature sauce—a creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet combination that’s utterly addictive. Skewering the chicken makes it fun to eat and perfect for sharing. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and cooks in no time!

Ingredients

For the Chicken Skewers:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• Wooden or metal skewers

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

• 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp honey

• 1 tsp lime juice

• 1 garlic clove, minced

For Garnish:

• Chopped green onions

• Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Prepare the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes (if using). Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Thread the chicken onto skewers.

3. Cook the Skewers: Grill or bake the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic.

5. Coat the Skewers: Brush the cooked skewers generously with the Bang Bang sauce.

6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Tips for Success

• Adjust the Heat: Add more or less Sriracha depending on your spice preference.

By combining ground lamb with fresh herbs and spices, you can create a sausage that’s both unique and comforting. Plus, it’s a great way to support local farmers and enjoy the flavors of the region.

Ingredients
