Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the cornstarch mixture. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined to make the Bang Bang sauce.
Once the chicken pieces are slightly cooled but still warm, toss them with the prepared Bang Bang sauce until coated evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with thinly sliced green onions.
