Bang Bang Chicken
This Bang Bang Chicken features a sweet and tangy sauce coating tender, crispy chicken, perfect for quick family meals.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breasts, diced (Use evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Full fat mayo gives the creamiest texture.)
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (Taste as you go; brands vary in heat and sweetness.)
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (Adjust based on family’s heat tolerance.)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Use low sodium if watching salt.)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (Fresh lime brightens the sauce.)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (Panko provides the best crunch.)
- Green onions, for garnish (Slice thinly for garnish.)
- Salt and pepper (To taste.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, and lime juice to create the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken pieces in panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Toss the cooked chicken in the sauce off heat until evenly coated.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
Serve over rice or in sliders. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet for best texture.
