Instructions
Creating the perfect Crispy Bang Bang Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, set one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Beat Eggs: In the second bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
4. Panko Coating: In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
5. Coat Chicken Pieces: First, dip each chicken piece into the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
7. Fry Chicken: In batches, fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
8. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust spiciness to preference.
9. Toss Chicken in Sauce: In a large bowl, gently toss the hot chicken with the sauce until well coated.
10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
