In a bowl, combine chicken breast pieces, buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons sriracha. Stir to mix, then let sit at room temperature while the grill heats.
- 2
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
- 3
Thread chicken pieces, bell pepper wedges, onion wedges, and mushrooms onto metal skewers, alternating them and dividing the chicken and vegetables evenly.

For the bang bang sauce, stir the remaining sriracha, sweet Thai chili sauce, soy sauce, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 of the sauce for serving.
- 5
When the grill is hot, pour cooking oil onto a folded paper towel and, using tongs, oil the hot grill grates.
- 6
Place the skewers on the oiled grates, brush them with sauce, close the grill lid, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the skewers a quarter turn, brush with sauce, close the lid, and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat until all sides are lightly charred, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 4 to 8 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove the skewers from the grill to a serving platter, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- 8
Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and lime wedges. Serve with the reserved sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
