Description
A recipe for making crispy fried chicken coated in a spicy, creamy Bang Bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a second shallow dish, place the beaten eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg, letting excess drip off.
- Coat the chicken thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a wire rack.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
- Toss the warm, cooked chicken pieces in the sauce until fully coated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can bake the chicken instead of frying for a lower-fat option. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level of the sauce.
