Directions
-
Begin by creating your breading stations. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Make sure to mix well for a tremendous flavor base. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs. Finally, add panko breadcrumbs to a third bowl, ensuring you have all elements ready for the chicken coating process.
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Following this, immerse the chicken in the beaten eggs before moving to the panko breadcrumbs. This triple-dipping technique creates a tremendous crunch that pairs beautifully with the tender chicken.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying until they reach a golden-brown color. This should take about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the size of your pieces. Make sure the oil is hot enough to maintain the crispiness.
-
While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha, if using. Stir this mixture until smooth, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors that will enhance your dish.
-
Once the chicken has cooked thoroughly, remove it from the pan and let it drain on a paper towel. Immediately toss the hot chicken pieces in the sauce until they are well-coated. The warmth of the chicken will help the sauce adhere better, delivering flavor in each bite.
-
Serve the Bang Bang Chicken while hot, garnished generously with chopped green onions. The green onions not only add a pop of color but also contribute a fresh crunch that complements the rich sauce.
