Bang Bang Chicken Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, ½ cup of Thai sweet chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of Sriracha, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, ¾ cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of cornstarch, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired.
- Fully coat 1.5 pounds of chicken tenderloins in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Dredge the marinated chicken in 2 cups of panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently for adherence.
- Heat canola oil in a skillet until it reaches 365°F, approximately ½ inch deep.
- Carefully add the coated chicken to the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Toss in the Bang Bang Sauce until fully coated.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley, along with jasmine rice or a cucumber salad if desired.
