Description
A flavorful dish featuring tender chicken pieces coated in breadcrumbs and tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat each piece.
- Set up a breading station: Place the beaten egg in one bowl and the breadcrumbs in another. Dip each chicken piece in the egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, shaking the basket halfway.
- Make the Bang Bang sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice.
- Serve: Toss the cooked chicken in the Bang Bang sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
For extra crispiness, consider double-dipping the chicken in egg and breadcrumbs. Adjust sriracha in the sauce to suit your taste.
