1 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a savory depth to the dish.
1 teaspoon ginger powder: Provides a warm, spicy note that complements the chicken.
1/2 teaspoon salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the chicken.

Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing it with cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the skewers by soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes or using metal skewers directly.
Cook the skewers on a preheated grill or in an oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes on the grill or 15-20 minutes in the oven, flipping halfway through.
Make the Bang Bang sauce by mixing sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth.
