Instructions
Making Crispy Bang Bang Chicken is a process that can be broken down into clear steps. Follow this guide to ensure your chicken comes out perfectly:
1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken pieces for flavor.
3. Set Up Breading Stations:
– In the first bowl, place flour.
– In the second bowl, beat the eggs.
– In the third bowl, add panko breadcrumbs.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they’re fully covered for maximum crispiness.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.
6. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth.
8. Coat the Chicken: In a large bowl, add the fried chicken and pour the Bang Bang sauce over it. Toss well to ensure each piece is generously coated.
9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
With these straightforward steps, you can create crispy, flavorful chicken that will wow your guests!
