Description

Delicious Bang Bang Chicken made in the air fryer, coated with a creamy and spicy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce or Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Score the chicken breasts with 1-inch deep cuts spaced 1/2-inch apart, creating a cross-hatch pattern.
  2. Combine all the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt) and use this mixture to season both sides of the chicken breasts.
  3. Make the bang bang sauce – Combine and mix together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, and chili garlic sauce or sriracha. Pour this sauce over the raw chicken equally. Optional: set aside about ½ of the sauce to drizzle over the dish when serving or to use as additional sauce for the rice.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket then air fry at 390° for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts or until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees.
  5. Allow chicken to rest for approximately 10 minutes after cooking.

Notes

  • Serve with white rice and cilantro.
  • Extra sauce can be used as a drizzle over the dish.
