Ingredients

Scale
  • Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1 cup (232 g) mayonnaise
  • ½ cup (132 g) Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Chicken
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup (245 g) buttermilk
  • ¾ cup (94 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (64 g) cornstarch
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • 2 cups (216 g) panko breadcrumbs, plain
  • canola oil, for frying
  • parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl add buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, Sriracha, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine. Add chicken tenders and toss to coat.
  3. Add Panko to a shallow plate.
  4. Working one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the batter, gently shaking off any excess batter. Dredge the chicken in the panko, pressing slightly to adhere. Set on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Set aside while you heat the oil.
  5. To a large skillet, add about an inch of oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 365°F.
  6. Working in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, add chicken and cook until browned (about 2-3 minutes on each side), or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Repeat with the remaining chicken tenderloins, making sure the oil is 365°F before adding more chicken.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain slightly before adding it to a serving plate.
  8. Toss the chicken with the bang bang sauce, top with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less Sriracha according to taste.
  • Make sure the oil is at the right temperature for crispy chicken.
