Description

A crispy and flavorful chicken dish coated in a creamy, spicy sauce that tantalizes the taste buds.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 cups plain panko breadcrumbs
  • Canola oil (for frying)
  • Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Whisk until smooth. Adjust heat if desired and set aside.
  2. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, and Sriracha. Add chicken tenderloins and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Coat marinated chicken in the dry mix, then in egg mixture, and finally in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and toss in Bang Bang sauce.
  6. Plate and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make the sauce ahead of time for added convenience. Adjust the spice level of the sauce to your preference.
