Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha adjust to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to tenderize the chicken.
- Prepare Breading: In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, place panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat Chicken: Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, followed by the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
- Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the coated chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until well combined. Adjust the heat to your preference.
- Combine: Toss the crispy chicken in the sauce until well coated. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
