Ingredients
Chicken
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha (or whatever hot sauce you prefer)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2-3 cups Panko bread crumbs
Dipping Sauce
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, Sriracha, salt and pepper (to taste).
  2. Add your chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, and toss to coat. Allow pieces to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While your chicken is marinating, make your sauce - whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha and honey in a small bowl until smooth and well mixed. Set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour your Panko bread crumbs in a wide, shallow bowl/dish.
  6. One at a time, dredge each piece of marinated/battered chicken in your Panko, pressing to coat. Set aside on a plate or tray.
  7. Working in batches, add breaded chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzled with sweet chili sauce. (And fill a side dish with extra sauce for dipping!)
