Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into bite-sized pieces or strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for cooking

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces or strips to ensure even cooking. Pat them dry with a paper towel to help achieve a golden, crispy crust when frying.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken pieces in batches without overcrowding the pan. Cook each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy to your preference.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Place the cooked chicken into a large bowl, pour the Bang Bang sauce over it, and toss until every piece is fully coated with the creamy, spicy sauce.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top for freshness and crunch. Serve immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or in a salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality chicken breast for the best texture and flavor.
  • Add Sriracha sauce gradually and taste frequently to control the heat level.
  • Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even browning and crispiness.
  • Make the Bang Bang sauce ahead of time to save preparation time on busy nights.
  • Serve the dish immediately after mixing and garnishing to enjoy optimal flavor and texture.
