Directions ✴
Mayo Marinated Chicken: Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and toss together, until the chicken is well coated. Set aside to marinate for 1 hour (or, you can make the skewers straight away). Once marinated, thread the chicken onto five large metal skewers (or soaked wooden skewers).
Bang Bang Sauce: Add the peanut butter, tahini, crushed sesame seeds, soy sauce, mayonnaise, black vinegar, chilli oil, maple syrup and garlic to a medium bowl along with 2 Tbsp water. Whisk together, until combined. Season to taste with more soy sauce, if needed.
Cook Chicken: Preheat your BBQ grill to high. Cook the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning often, until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, use a griddle pan instead or grill them in the oven on high (turning half-way through cooking).
To Serve: Place the chicken skewers onto a platter, then drizzle over about 1⁄3 cup of the bang bang sauce. Drizzle over a little chilli oil, if desired. Garnish with the spring onion, coriander and a pinch of crushed sesame.
Tip* To make crushed sesame seeds, add some toasted sesame seeds to a nutribullet or mini food processor. Pulse several times, until the sesame seeds are coarsely ground.
