  • 1 cup buttermilk (or plant-based milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

    • For Garnish:

    • chopped green onions
    • sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
  2. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet or pot.
  3. Dredge and Fry: Remove chicken from marinade, coat with flour mixture, and fry until golden and cooked through.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar.
  5. Coat and Garnish: Toss fried chicken in sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, bake or air-fry the chicken and add sauce after cooking.
  • Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
