Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Provides extra crunch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
Dredging
  1. Dip each chicken piece into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs.
Frying
  1. In a large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove them and let them drain on paper towels.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder to create the Bang Bang sauce.
Assembly
  1. Toss the crispy chicken pieces gently with the sauce until well-coated.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on a baking sheet in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes for optimal crispiness.
