Bang Bang Chicken Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise plus 1/3 cup, divided

  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

  • 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir panko and oil together in a wide shallow bowl or pie plate. Toss chicken with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise in a medium bowl until thoroughly coated.


  2. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the panko mixture to coat. Transfer the coated chicken pieces to the prepared rack, spacing the pieces evenly apart. Discard any remaining panko mixture. Bake the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 165°F, 10 to 12 minutes.


  3. Meanwhile, whisk chili sauce, lime juice, Sriracha, onion powder and the remaining 1/3 cup mayonnaise together in a small bowl until blended.


  4. Transfer the chicken nuggets to a large plate; sprinkle evenly with salt. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup sauce for dipping.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
