Crispy chicken bites tossed in a sweet and tangy orange glaze with fresh scallions.

Ingredients
  • Chicken
  • 1 lb
    boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup
    whole milk
  • 1
    large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup
    all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup
    cornstarch
  • 1 tsp
    kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp
    black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp
    baking powder (optional)
  • 2 cups
    vegetable oil, for frying
  • Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/3 cup
    mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp
    honey
  • 3 tbsp
    sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp
    sriracha
  • 1/2 tsp
    salt
  • 1 tbsp
    toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  • Whisk together the milk and egg in a bowl.

  • Pat the chicken dry, cut into 1-inch cubes, and coat with the milk mixture.

  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and baking powder.

  • In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, salt, and sesame seeds.

  • Remove the chicken from the milk mixture, letting the excess drip off, then coat evenly in the flour mixture.

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning until golden brown and cooked through.

  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.

  • Toss the hot chicken with the Bang Bang sauce until evenly coated.

  • Serve immediately.
