Instructions
FOR THE BANG BANG SAUCE
- Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, or serve right away.
FOR THE BANG BANG CHICKEN
- Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a wide pot to 375 degrees F. Do not let the oil boil. If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a tiny drop of flour. It will immediately sizzle up.
- Next, add the chicken and buttermilk to a large bowl. Toss to coat the chicken. Soak for a few minutes while the oil is heating.
- Whisk together then cornstarch, cayenne (or paprika) and a bit of salt and pepper into a separate large bowl.
- Drain the chicken and shake off any excess buttermilk. Coat the chicken in the seasoned cornstarch mixture, then fry them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and start to lightly brown.
- Remove and drain the chicken on paper towels.
- Toss the chicken with the bang bang sauce then garnish with fresh parsley and spicy chili flakes.
