Instructions
Creating Crispy Bang Bang Chicken is simple when following these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. Create the Flour Mixture: In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
3. Set Up the Dipping Station: In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Next, dip it into the buttermilk, and finally, coat it with the panko breadcrumbs.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat enough oil over medium heat for frying.
6. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken pieces into the oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.
9. Toss the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the crispy chicken with the Bang Bang sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken for an extra pop of flavor.
