Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with oil or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, spreading it with a spoon if needed.
Step 5: Bake the chicken uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6: Optional: For a caramelized top, switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 7: Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes, if using.
Step 8: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken over rice, alongside steamed vegetables, or in fresh lettuce wraps for a lighter option.

Tips & Variations

Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter sauce with a tangy twist.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
Add diced bell peppers or snap peas into the baking dish for extra color and crunch.
Leftover chicken can be shredded and used in sandwiches or salads the next day.

Storage

Store leftover Bang Bang Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a covered skillet over low heat to keep the chicken moist. Avoid overheating to prevent drying out the sauce and meat.
