A quick and easy Bang Bang Chicken recipe featuring a creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet sauce that perfectly coats tender chicken pieces. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s perfect for busy weeknights and crowd-pleasing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup (120ml) mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Slice into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (About 5 minutes)
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as desired. (About 5 minutes)
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a 10-12 inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes until golden crust forms.
  4. Flip chicken pieces and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink inside. (Total cooking time about 7-8 minutes)
  5. Turn heat to low, pour the creamy sauce over the chicken, and gently toss with a spatula or wooden spoon until every piece is coated. Warm through for 1-2 minutes without boiling the sauce.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or fresh salad.

Notes

If sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice to loosen. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing chicken; cook in batches if needed. For low-fat variation, substitute half the mayo with Greek yogurt. For vegan version, use plant-based mayo and tofu or cauliflower instead of chicken. Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of water to maintain sauce texture.
