Instructions
To create the mouthwatering Bang Bang Chicken, follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough for frying.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and optional sriracha for added heat until smooth.
7. Coat the Chicken: Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
