Crispy golden chicken bites tossed in a creamy, sweet and spicy bang bang sauce. This easy homemade dish delivers the perfect balance of crunch, heat, and sweetness in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk until smooth.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken in batches for 5 to 6 minutes per batch, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth.
- Toss the fried chicken pieces in the prepared sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level.
- For extra crispiness, double coat the chicken by dipping it back into the egg and flour mixture before frying.
- Air frying is possible at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve over rice, in lettuce wraps, or as an appetizer.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
