Description

Delicious crispy chicken bites marinated and fried, drizzled in a spicy creamy sauce.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken pieces and buttermilk in a bowl. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
  3. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  4. Remove chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour.
  5. Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, frying until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
  6. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a separate bowl.
  7. Drain the cooked chicken on paper towels and toss with the sauce until evenly coated.

Notes

For best results, serve over rice or with crisp lettuce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
