Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Bang Bang Sauce
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together your mayonnaise, honey, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and sesame seeds. Set aside.
- Prepare your chicken by cutting it all into 1 inch cubes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together your milk and egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together your cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper.
- Place all your cubed chicken into the bowl of milk and egg, stir to coat completely. While the chicken is soaking in the milk mixture for a minute, heat your frying oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the milk and egg mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
- Pour your flour mixture into a large plastic bag, place all your soaked chicken into the bag, seal it up and shake the bag to coat the chicken completely with the flour mixture.
- You may need to cook the chicken in a couple batches, remove the chicken from the bag and carefully place them into the hot oil.
- Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes, rotating throughout to evenly cook. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to allow excess oil to drip off.
- Once all the chicken is done, transfer it all into your bowl with the sauce and stir to coat each piece evenly.
- Best enjoyed fresh!
