Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
5 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce, divided
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola
Thinly sliced scallions, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Stir 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, and 4 teaspoons of the Sriracha together in a large bowl. Transfer half of the sauce to a small bowl for serving.
2. Whisk the remaining 1 teaspoon Sriracha, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour together in a medium shallow bowl or pie plate.
3. Stir 2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder together in a second shallow bowl or pie plate.
4. Season chicken breast pieces with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Add chicken to the egg mixture, turn to coat, then transfer to the panko mixture and coat fully.
5. Heat 1 cup neutral oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat until 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack or paper towels.
6. Fry about 8 pieces of chicken at a time until cooked through and golden-brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack or paper towels.
7. Toss the chicken in the sauce and garnish with scallions if using. Serve with extra sauce.
Notes
Control the heat level by adjusting the Sriracha in the sauce.
Great for wraps, rice bowls, or served solo with a side salad.
