Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Coat the Chicken: Set up a breading station with separate bowls for flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in the egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the spiciness by adding more sriracha, if desired.
- Serve: Toss the crispy chicken pieces in the sauce or serve it drizzled on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
