Crispy Air Fryer Bang-Bang Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Bang-Bang Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large bowl and whisk together the creamy mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and a splash of Sriracha until everything is beautifully blended.

2. Step 2

   Set aside 3/4 cup of this delicious sauce for later—trust me, you’ll want it! Next, take a large resealable plastic bag and fill it with flour.

3. Step 3

   Toss in your chicken pieces, seal the bag tightly, and give it a good shake until each piece is evenly coated in flour.

4. Step 4

   Now, transfer those floured chicken pieces into the bowl with your sauce, stirring gently to ensure every piece is generously coated.

5. Step 5

   In another resealable plastic bag, add panko bread crumbs for that perfect crunch.

6. Step 6

   Working in batches, drop the sauced chicken into the bag, seal it up, and shake it like you mean it until the chicken is well-coated in those crispy crumbs.

7. Step 7

   Preheat your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s ready, arrange the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer—this is key to achieving that golden, crispy finish, so avoid overcrowding! Cook the chicken for 10 minutes, then flip each piece over and let them cook for another 5 minutes, or until they’re irresistibly golden brown and crispy.

9. Step 9

   If you have more chicken to cook, just repeat this process.

10. Step 10

    When all the chicken is done, transfer it to a large bowl and drizzle the reserved sauce over the top.

11. Step 11

    Toss everything gently to coat the chicken in that flavorful sauce.

12. Step 12

    For a pop of color and freshness, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top and serve your crispy chicken hot.
