Description
Crispy Bang Bang Chicken: A Spicy and Crunchy Delight
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast: Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour: For breading.
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs: For extra crunch.
- 2 large eggs: Beaten, for binding.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: For flavor.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder: For flavor.
- Salt and pepper: To taste.
- Oil: For frying (vegetable or canola oil).
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise: For creaminess.
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce: For sweetness.
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha: For heat (adjust to taste).
- 1 teaspoon lime juice: For brightness.
Instructions
- In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, shaking off the excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
- In a large bowl, add the crispy chicken and drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top. Toss gently to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
- Serve the Crispy Bang Bang Chicken warm, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less Sriracha.
- Serve with rice or salad for a complete meal.
