Start by preparing your bang bang sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. This sauce is what makes the dish so special, giving it that unique flavor profile.
Next, take your chicken breast and cut it into 1-inch pieces. It’s important to make them uniform in size to ensure they cook evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sriracha. Mix well to create a flavorful coating mixture.
Take each piece of chicken and toss it in the coating mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated. This step is crucial for that crispy exterior.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Allow the oil to heat up properly before adding the chicken.
Carefully add the coated chicken bites to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid crowding the pan; it’s better to cook in batches if necessary.
Let the chicken cook for about 3 to 4 minutes without moving it. This will help achieve a nice golden-brown color.
After 3 to 4 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a crispy finish.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and toss it in the prepared bang bang sauce until fully coated. This step gives the bites their distinct flavor!
Finally, serve your Bang Bang Chicken Bites on a platter, and enjoy them warm. They pair wonderfully with rice or can be served over shredded cabbage for an extra crunch.
