  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce adjust based on spice preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and panko bread crumbs in a third.
  3. Dredge each tenderloin in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry chicken tenderloins until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the bang bang sauce.
Serving

Notes

If you have leftovers, let the chicken cool down to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep it crispy. Make sure the oil is hot before frying for a crispy texture.
