Description
A delicious Asian-inspired fried chicken dish with a spicy bang bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup kewpie mayo (or regular mayonnaise)
- 1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
- vegetable oil or olive oil (for frying)
- chopped green onions
- sesame seeds
- steamed white rice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and red pepper flakes. Whisk well and set aside.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and garlic salt. Place the chicken pieces in the cornstarch to coat completely, then set aside on a plate.
- Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan) for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165ºF. Transfer to a wire rack with paper towels underneath to catch any drips.
- While the chicken is still hot, toss in a large bowl with the bang bang sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately over rice, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha.
