BANG BANG CHICKEN

BANG BANG CHICKEN

Ingredients :

For Chicken

4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into small pieces

1 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 egg

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp hot sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Panko breadcrumbs

oil for frying

For Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (I used Frank’s)

1 tbsp Frank’s hot sauce

2 tbsp honey

Directions :

In a medium bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

To the bowl add the hot sauce, egg, and buttermilk and whisk until you have a smooth batter.

Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, toss to make sure each piece is coated in the batter and set aside.

In another bowl add about a cup of Panko breadcrumbs.

Mix all ingredients for the sauce together and refrigerate until ready for serving.

Heat the oil in a large skillet.

Coat each piece of chicken with breadcrumbs, add more breadcrumbs as needed, and fry on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Place on paper napkins to soak up some of the oil.

Repeat with all chicken pieces. Only add a few pieces of chicken to the skillet at a time, so the chicken turns out crispy

Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.
