Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken tenderloins with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour; in another, the beaten eggs; and in the third, the panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Chicken: Dredge each tenderloin in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the spice level as desired.
- Serve: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the crispy chicken tenderloins or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions.
