Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins no bones or skin
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 2 cups breadcrumbs plain
- Canola oil for frying
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- To make the bang bang sauce combine the mayo, Sriracha, honey and Thai sweet chili sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the flour, buttermilk and cornstarch to a medium bowl. Add in the egg, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; whisk to combine everything and add in the chicken tenders to coat with the mixture.
- Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Take one chicken tender piece at a time, shake off any excess mixture and roll to cover with the breadcrumbs. Place on a plate and repeat the same method for the rest of the pieces.
- Add oil to a large skillet to cover about an inch and heat up the oil over medium high heat (it should reach 365 degrees F).
- Proceed in sections, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Place in the chicken pieces and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned (the pieces should reach 165 degrees F). Repeat the same thing for the rest of the tenderloins.
- Line a large plate with paper towel and lay on it the chicken pieces to absorb any excess oil. Next, mix the chicken pieces with the bang bang sauce and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
