Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Set up a breading station: whisk eggs in one bowl, mix flour with salt and pepper in another, and place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat (around 350°F). Fry chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown.
- In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and honey; mix well to create the Bang Bang sauce.
- Drain excess oil from fried chicken on paper towels before tossing them in the sauce. Serve hot with extra sauce drizzled on top.
