Air Fryer Bang-Bang Chicken image

Sweet, spicy, air-fried chicken that's tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My version gets a double dose of bang-bang sauce which is sure to please the taste buds. Serve in leafy lettuce wraps if desired.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
⅓ cup flour
1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite-size pieces
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha together in a large bowl. Spoon out 3/4 cup of the mixture and set aside.
  • Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, close bag, and shake to coat. Transfer coated chicken pieces to the large bowl with the mayonnaise mixture and stir to combine.
  • Place panko bread crumbs in another large plastic resealable bag. Working in batches, drop chicken pieces into bread crumbs, close, and shake to coat.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place as many chicken pieces into the air fryer basket as you can without overcrowding. Cook in the hot air fryer for 10 minutes. Flip and cook 5 additional minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Transfer fried chicken to a large bowl and pour reserved sauce over the top. Sprinkle with green onions and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a double batch and froze half of it for later.

I wasn't sure how the chicken would turn out in the air fryer, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was just as good as fried chicken, but without all the grease.
