Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts each cut into 4-5 strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha divided
  • 1 tablespoons +1 teaspoon honey divided
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce

For the salad:

  • 2 ears corn husked
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 slice red onion diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon EACH salt & pepper

Instructions

For the chicken:

  • This is a chicken skewer shortcut. Place the strips of chicken next to each other on a cutting board. Stick 5 skewers, spaced about an inch apart, through all of the strips. Cut between the skewers to make 5 separate skewers of chicken.
  • In a 9x13” dish, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, rice vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. Set the chicken skewers into the dish and roll them around in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • For the Bang Bang sauce, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon Sriracha, and remaining 1 teaspoon honey.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Oil the grates so the chicken doesn’t stick. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side. Baste the skewers with the sauce and continue cooking for 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill.
  • Baste the chicken again with the sauce, then garnish with green onions. Serve with the rest of the sauce on the side.

For the salad:

  • Grill the corn until tender, about 8 minutes. Extra points for getting some light char on the corn.
  • Let it cool and then cut the kernels off the ears and put them in a the serving bowl to cool.
  • Once cooled, add the avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
