Bang Bang Chicken Recipe

Instructions

Make the bang bang sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Refrigerate until the chicken is cooked.

If you're using the oven, and not an air fryer, to cook the chicken, preheat it to 425°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs, and cut into one inch cubes.

In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the oil.

Add the cornstarch and toss to coat the chicken pieces.

Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.

Spread the chicken in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer, or, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave space around the pieces.

Air fry at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook in batches. Or bake in an oven pre-heated to 425° for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through. For either cooking method, the chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°.

In a large bowl, toss the chicken with sauce. Start with half the sauce, adding more if you prefer. Serve the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

Serve with rice and vegetables, garnished with green onion slices, and/or sesame seeds.
