Ingredients
  

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1 cup 232 g mayonnaise
  • ½ cup 132 g Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Chicken:

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup 245 g buttermilk
  • ¾ cup 94 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup 64 g cornstarch
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 2 cups 216 g panko breadcrumbs, plain
  • Canola oil for frying
  • Parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well and set aside.

Chicken:

  • In a medium mixing bowl add buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, Sriracha, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine. Add chicken tenders and toss to coat.
  • Add Panko to a shallow plate.
  • Working one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the batter, gently shaking off any excess batter. Dredge the chicken in the panko, pressing slightly to adhere. Set on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Set aside while you heat the oil.
  • To a large skillet, add about an inch of oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 365°F.
  • Working in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, add chicken and cook until browned (about 2-3 minutes on each side), or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Repeat with the remaining chicken tenderloins, making sure the oil is 365°F before adding more chicken.
  • Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain slightly before adding it to a serving plate.
  • Toss the chicken with the bang bang sauce, top with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
