Ingredients:
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1 ¼ cups mayonnaise

Directions:
- Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto each soaked skewer, creating a festive look perfect for holiday entertaining.
