Bang Bang Chicken Bites 💥
1-2 lbs Chicken Tenders or Breasts
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika or Smoked paprika
Salt/Pepper
3/4 c Mayo
1/4 c G. Hughes Thai Chili
1-2 tbs Chili paste or garlic chili paste for heat (or chili flakes)
Cube your chicken for chicken bites.
If you use chicken breasts, score them on one side.
Season the chicken with equal parts garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
Mix your chicken bites around in the seasoning until well coated. Or if you’re using chicken breasts, make sure you season on both sides. Press the seasoning into the scores of the chicken.
For the bang bang sauce:
Combine the mayonnaise, the Thai chili sauce, and one to 2 tablespoons of the chili paste for heat. I suggest adding 1 tablespoon, and then tasting your sauce before adding a second.
Preheat air fryer to 400, or preheat over to 350.
Add half the mixture of the bang bang sauce to the chicken and mix together. Once combined transferred to your sprayed air fryer tray. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes, mixing half way through.
For the chicken breast or the chicken tenders, coat the chicken on both sides and then place on to a baking dish. Bacon the oven at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes.
Make sure the internal temperature of your chicken reaches 165° and the juices run clear.
The remainder of the bang bang sauce for dipping.
Enjoy! Let me know if you make it!
