Instructions
Creating Crispy Bang Bang Chicken is a straightforward process with these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut your chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness when fried.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place panko breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in panko breadcrumbs. Make sure it’s well-covered.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom, about ½ inch deep. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Drain: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
8. Combine: In a large mixing bowl, toss the crispy chicken pieces with the Bang Bang sauce until evenly coated.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for extra color and flavor.
These steps will guide you in creating the perfect Crispy Bang Bang Chicken, ensuring a delightful meal that will have everyone asking for seconds.
