Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the cornstarch mixture. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined to make the Bang Bang sauce.
Step 8
Once the chicken pieces are slightly cooled but still warm, toss them with the prepared Bang Bang sauce until coated evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with thinly sliced green onions.
