Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 380°F (190°C), setting the stage for perfectly crispy chicken.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and a splash of hot pepper sauce until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine flour, tapioca starch, salt, garlic powder, and cumin, creating a flavorful dry mix that will give your chicken a delightful crunch.
Step 4
Now, take each piece of chicken and dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off before rolling it in the dry mixture.
Step 5
Make sure each piece is well-coated for that irresistible texture.
Step 6
Next, arrange the coated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, giving them some space to breathe—this helps them cook evenly.
Step 7
A light spray of cooking oil on top will help achieve that golden finish.
Step 8
Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, giving the basket a gentle shake halfway through to ensure every piece gets that perfect crispiness.
Step 9
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, signaling deliciousness.
Step 10
While the chicken is cooking, whip up a quick dipping sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, and a dash more hot sauce in a small bowl.
Step 11
This creamy, spicy dip will elevate your crispy chicken to new heights.
Step 12
Once everything is ready, serve the chicken hot alongside your zesty dipping sauce, and enjoy a delightful meal that’s sure to impress!.
