Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 2 large egg
- 0.5 cup flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station by placing cornstarch in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of flour and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the cornstarch, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the flour-panko mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, and rice vinegar to make the bang bang sauce.
Toss the fried chicken pieces in the bang bang sauce until well coated.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
