Description
This crispy Bang Bang Chicken is an easy 25-minute recipe made with bite-sized chicken coated in panko and tossed in a creamy, sweet, and spicy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Juice from half of a lime (a little less than 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken (cut into 1–2 inch cubes)
- ¼ cup peanut or pecan oil
- 3 green onions (for garnish, chopped)
Instructions
- Add the sauce ingredients to a bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Add the breadcrumbs and seasonings to a large plastic storage bag. Seal the bag and shake until the ingredients are well combined.
- Add the eggs to a bowl. Whisk the eggs until smooth.
- Add the chicken to the egg mixture and stir until fully coated.
- Transfer the chicken to the plastic bag. Seal the bag and gently shake to coat the chicken with the panko mixture. Place the coated pieces on a wire rack to allow the coating to dry and stick.
- Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the chicken into the pan. Don’t overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook this in batches.
- Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should be 165° F.
- Toss the chicken in the sauce, or drizzle the sauce on top, and sprinkle the green onions on top.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- Adjust sauce ingredients to taste if needed.
