Description
A quick recipe for spicy and creamy Bang Bang Chicken.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Set up a dredging station: place flour in one shallow dish, the beaten egg in a second, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
- Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg, letting excess drip off.
- Coat the chicken thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss gently until all pieces are coated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can bake or air fry the chicken instead of pan-frying for a lower fat option. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve over rice or with a side of steamed broccoli.
