Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken
Sweet, spicy, air fryer bang-bang chicken that's tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My version gets a double dose of bang-bang sauce, which is sure to please the taste buds. Serve in leafy lettuce wraps if desired.
Ingredient
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- ⅓ cup flour
- 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 green onions, chopped
Direction
- Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a large bowl until sauce is well combined. Reserve 3/4 cup sauce and set aside.
- Place flour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken; seal the bag and shake to coat. Transfer coated chicken pieces to sauce in the large bowl and stir to combine.
- Place panko bread crumbs in another large resealable plastic bag. Working in batches, drop chicken pieces into bread crumbs, seal, and shake to coat.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place as many chicken pieces into the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Transfer fried chicken to another large bowl and pour reserved sauce over the top. Sprinkle with green onions and toss to coat. Serve hot.
