    Bang Bang Chicken

    Bang Bang Chicken is a perfect appetizer for any occasion. It features extra crispy chicken bites drizzled with an amazing creamy sweet chili sauce. On top of that, it's quick and easy to prepare!

    Bang Bang Chicken

    Making the Sauce

    I used the following ingredients for the sauce:  Mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and hot sauce. For the chicken, I used skinless and boneless chicken breasts, buttermilk, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, egg, hot sauce, salt, pepper, Panko, and vegetable oil.

    Ingredients for Bang Bang Chicken

    I made the sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and hot sauce.

    Making the Chicken

    To make the batter, I whisked together the buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, hot sauce, salt and freshly ground pepper.

    The most time-consuming part of making the Bang Bang Chicken was dipping the chicken pieces in the batter and coating them in Panko. Once that was done, I fried the chicken in some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until the chicken was evenly cooked and golden brown. I did this in several batches so as not to crowd the chicken.

    Cooking Chicken

    I drained the cooked chicken on paper towels before serving it.

    To serve it, I drizzled some of the sauce on the chicken and put the rest on the side for additional dipping. Talk about good! The chicken had an incredible crunch to it, and the sweet chili sauce was amazing. Yum!
