Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
For the Coating:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Juice of ½ lime (optional, for tang)
Instructions
- Season and Prep: Season the chicken tenderloins with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg.
- Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tenderloin into the whisked egg, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
- Sear the Chicken: Add a small amount of oil to a large pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, a dash of Sriracha, honey, and a squeeze of lime juice (if using). Whisk together until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
