Bang Bang Chicken
Yield: 6 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes
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
Instructions:
  1. 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.
  2. In another bowl add about a cup of Panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Mix all ingredients for the sauce together and refrigerate until ready for serving.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet.
  5. 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.
  6. Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.
