Ingredients
For the Chicken Skewers
- 500 g chicken breast cut into medium cubes
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp MSG

Bang Bang Sauce

Instructions
- In a bowl, add the chicken cubes along with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and MSG.
- Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece so they cook evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).
- Arrange the skewers on a baking tray or wire rack placed over a tray (this helps the chicken cook evenly).
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly caramelized.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the hot chicken skewers over steamed rice and drizzle generously with the bang bang sauce.
- You can also serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.
