Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Serving

  • 4 brioche buns
  • Fresh lettuce
  • Tomato slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coating Stations: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to warm the fried chicken after cooking. Set up three separate bowls: one with seasoned flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with panko breadcrumbs. This setup ensures an even and crispy coating on the chicken.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the panko breadcrumbs until well covered. This triple dipping creates a crispy crust.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully fry each chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the chicken is thoroughly cooked inside. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. This sauce will add a creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor to the sandwich.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the Bang Bang sauce on the inside of both halves of each brioche bun. Layer fresh lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom bun, place the fried chicken breast on top, drizzle extra sauce over the chicken, and then close with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, let the coated chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked for food safety.
  • You may keep the fried chicken warm in the preheated oven (400°F) for up to 10 minutes before assembling.
  • Adjust the Sriracha sauce quantity to control the heat level of the Bang Bang sauce.
  • Serve with pickle slices or a side of fries for a complete meal.
