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.
  • Serve: Arrange the crispy chicken on a plate and drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
