Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of mayonnaise, ¼ cup of Thai sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Whisk together until smooth and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of buttermilk, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of cornstarch, 1 beaten egg, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth, add chicken, cover, and let soak for 10 minutes.
- Spread 1 cup of plain panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Remove chicken from marinade and dip in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of canola oil in a deep skillet to 365°F (185°C). Fry coated chicken in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Toss in Bang Bang Sauce until generously coated.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm, ideal with jasmine rice or sweet potato fries.

Notes
For the best texture, reheat leftovers in the oven instead of the microwave. Marinating for 30 minutes enhances flavor and tenderness.
