Variations: For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture or more sriracha to the sauce. You can also try using other types of breadcrumbs or coating for different textures. For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the flour mix.

Preparation Tips: Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken for optimal crispiness, otherwise, the coating will become soggy. Don’t overcrowd the pan, fry in batches if necessary, to ensure even cooking and avoid lowering oil temperature. Use a meat thermometer to guarantee internal temperature, which is a safety recommendation to consume the meat well cooked.

Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately as an appetizer, snack, or part of a main course with a side of rice or vegetables. These bites also pair well with a cool, refreshing dip like ranch or blue cheese.

Intolerances/Allergies: This recipe contains gluten and dairy. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs. For a dairy-free option, substitute the mayonnaise with a plant-based version and ensure the sweet chili sauce is dairy free. Be aware of cross-contamination.

Taste Adjustments: Adjust the sweetness and spice level of the bang bang sauce by increasing or decreasing the honey and sriracha to your preference. You can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or even a sugar substitute.
