How To Serve Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

Serve bang bang chicken over a bed of rice or noodles and an extra dollop (or two!) of bang bang sauce. The kids also love to dip naan or pita bread into bang bang sauce, so I usually make a double batch.

Colorful Roasted Vegetables are a great way to round out your plate, as well as Zucchini Fries, which you can crisp up in the air fryer. In our house, we also love to whip up a big batch of Coleslaw to serve alongside the bang bang skewers.
