Ingredients

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more to taste
  • ½ cup 132 g Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 cup 232 g Mayonnaise

Chicken:

  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • teaspoon Cayenne Pepper optional
  • ¾ cup 94 g All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup 64 g Cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 ½ pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenderloins
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 cups 216 g Panko Breadcrumbs (plain)
  • Canola Oil for frying
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

For Garnish:

  • Chopped Parsley

Instructions

For Bang Bang Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Set the sauce aside.

Preparing Chicken:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, Sriracha, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add chicken tenders to the mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.

Coating Process:

  • Place Panko breadcrumbs on a shallow plate.
  • Taking one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the batter, shaking off excess, and coat it evenly with Panko. Gently press to adhere. Place on a clean plate and repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Set aside as you heat the oil.

Frying the Chicken:

  • In a large skillet, add about an inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 365°F.
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add chicken to the pan. Cook until browned (approximately 2-3 minutes per side) or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Repeat with remaining chicken, ensuring the oil stays at 365°F.

Final Steps:

  • Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain slightly before placing it on a serving plate.
  • Toss the chicken with the prepared Bang Bang Sauce, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve the dish while warm.

Notes

Look for full-fat buttermilk to use to coat the chicken pieces.
