Yum! Sweet and spicy goodness 👩‍🍳


Ingredients:


Bang Bang sauce:


▪️1 cup mayonnaise 

▪️1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

▪️1 teaspoon Sriracha or more if you’re feeling spicy

▪️2 tablespoons honey


Chicken:


▪️1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins or chicken breast cut into strips 

▪️1 cup buttermilk

▪️3/4 cup all-purpose flour

▪️1/2 cup cornstarch

▪️1 large egg room temperature

▪️1 tablespoon Sriracha

▪️1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

▪️1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

▪️1/4 teaspoon black pepper

▪️1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

▪️2 cups panko breadcrumbs

▪️Canola oil (or oil of preference) for frying enough to make your chicken swim

▪️Chopped parsley for garnish


Instructions:


▪️Sauce first: Mix mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey in a bowl. Set aside.


▪️In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, Sriracha, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. 


▪️Toss your chicken in this magical mixture. Make sure they’re all coated.


▪️Pour panko onto a plate. One by one, shake off excess batter from each tender and roll it in panko. Press gently to make sure it sticks.


▪️Heat about an inch of oil in a large skillet to 365°F. 


▪️Fry the chicken in batches (don’t overcrowd!) for about 2-3 minutes per side. They should be golden brown and cooked through 165°F.


▪️Drain on paper towels briefly, then transfer to a serving plate.


▪️Drizzle generously with that bang bang sauce.


▪️Sprinkle with parsley to make it look fancy, then dig in while it’s hot!


Enjoy!
