Bang Bang Chicken

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, or more, as needed
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup Panko
  • FOR THE SAUCE
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (I used Chili Garlic Paste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tsp. Frank's hot sauce (I used 1tsp sriracha)

Preparation

Step 1

To make the sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, honey and sriracha in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste.

Working one at a time, dip chicken into buttermilk mixture, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.

Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about
about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Serve immediately, drizzled with sweet chili sauce. Enjoy!
