Description
Bang Bang Chicken is a crispy, flavorful dish featuring bite-sized pieces of chicken coated in a crunchy panko breadcrumb crust, served with a spicy and tangy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches, cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
- Serve the crispy chicken drizzled with the bang bang sauce and garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
- For a healthier version, bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
- Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and flavor.
