Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thigh Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup cornstarch For coating

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken pieces dry and coat evenly in cornstarch.
  2. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder until smooth.
  4. Toss the cooked chicken pieces in the sauce until well coated.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Serve Bang Bang Chicken over rice, on salad, or in wraps. Leftovers store in the fridge for 2 days—reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
