Bang Bang Chicken
Crispy fried chicken tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce, perfect for appetizers or main dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat with the flour mixture.
- Roll the coated chicken in panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per batch).
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice to prepare the sauce.
- Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until well-coated.
- Serve hot with fresh herbs or extra dipping sauce.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha.
- For a healthier version, bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
