                                Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil or more, as needed
 - 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
 - 1 cup buttermilk
 - 1 large egg
 - 1 tablespoon Sriracha
 - 1/2 tsp salt
 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
 
BREADING:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
 - 1/2 cup cornstarch
 - 1 tsp dried basil
 - 1 tsp garlic powder
 - 1 tsp onion powder
 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
 - 1 tsp salt
 - 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
 - Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
 
THE SWEET CHILI MAYO
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
 - 2-3 tablespoons Sweet chili sauce
 - 1 tablespoon honey
 - 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha to taste
 
Instructions
MAKE THE SAUCE:
- Whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, honey and sriracha in a small bowl, set aside.
 
FOR THE CHICKEN:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large high-sided saute pan, about 2 inches up the pan or half way up the pan, over medium high heat.
 - In a large bowl, whisk together milk, egg, sriracha, salt and pepper.
 - In a separate medium sized bowl, stir together flour, panko breadcrumbs, basil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.
 - Add chicken to buttermilk mixture, then use tongs or clean fingers to dredge a few pieces of chicken in the seasoned flour, and place on a clean plate. Repeat until all the chicken pieces are coated in flour and breadcrumbs and on the plate, ready to fry.
 - Working in batches, add breaded chicken to your pan. When they begin floating, about 2 minutes in, let them cook for another minute until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer with a spider onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain of excess oil. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
 - Serve immediately with sauce. You can dunk it, drizzle it on, paint it on with a brush, just don't skimp on it because it's so good!
