Description

 

Bang Bang Chicken combines crispy fried chicken with a sweet, spicy, and creamy sauce. This American-style version takes inspiration from Asian flavors and adds a twist with a simple, addictive sauce. Perfect as an appetizer, main dish, or even as a topping for salads and rice bowls.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar as a substitute)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1–1 1/2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey. Adjust the spice to your taste. Cover and refrigerate.

  • Bread the Chicken:

    • In a bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
    • Dip each chicken piece in the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Roll in panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

  • Fry the Chicken:

    • Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
    • Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  • Coat with Sauce:

    • Toss fried chicken in the bang bang sauce until well-coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a Healthier Option: Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or air-fry at 365°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
