Instructions
Creating Crispy Bang Bang Chicken is a straightforward process if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. Set Up Bread Stations: In three separate bowls, prepare flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
3. Coat Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, making sure it’s well coated. Shake off excess flour.
4. Dip in Eggs: Next, dip the floured chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off.
5. Coat with Panko: Finally, roll the chicken in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
7. Fry Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken to the skillet, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Mix until smooth.
10. Coat Chicken in Sauce: In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken pieces in the Bang Bang sauce until evenly coated.
