This is a wonderful Americanized version of an extremely popular Sichuan Chinese dish. With twice-fried chicken, you get the crispy fried breading you'd expect, and the bang bang sauce drizzle just makes the entire dish spectacular. You'll love this more than any Chinese takeout version. Pay attention to the notes in the directions!!

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup potato starch
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon shichimi togarashi (Japanese red pepper condiment)
oil for frying
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

Steps:

  • Whisk together milk and egg in a bowl until smooth. Add chicken to egg wash and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine potato starch, flour, salt, pepper, and ground red pepper in a bowl and transfer into a large resealable bag. Add egg-washed chicken pieces and shake until each piece is completely dredged.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Add chicken pieces into the oil in batches, about 5 to 8 pieces at a time, so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 90 seconds. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Fry remaining chicken pieces.
  • Increase oil temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be continuously boiling at this point. Carefully re-add the first batch of chicken and fry another 90 seconds. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Fry and drain the remaining chicken. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl.
  • Stir mayonnaise, honey, sweet chili sauce, and gochujang together in a small bowl. Toss fried chicken with sauce to coat.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually serve it over rice, but you could also serve it with noodles or vegetables.

This recipe is a great way to introduce kids to spicy food. The sauce is mild enough that they can handle it, but it still has a little bit of a kick.

I'm a big fan of spicy food, so I doubled the amount of chili peppers in the sauce. It was the perfect amount of heat for me.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm so glad I did! The sauce is just the right amount of spicy, and the chicken is cooked to perfection.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the honey and the spiciness of the chili peppers balance each other out perfectly.

Bang bang chicken was a hit at my dinner party! The sauce was tangy and sweet, and the chicken was crispy and juicy. Everyone raved about it.
