Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 2 large egg
• 0.5 cup flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Set up a breading station by placing cornstarch in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of flour and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 3

Dredge each piece of chicken in the cornstarch, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the flour-panko mixture.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Fry the chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, and rice vinegar to make the bang bang sauce.

Step 7

Toss the fried chicken pieces in the bang bang sauce until well coated.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
