This Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Recipe<\/strong> has crispy and tender chicken breast chunks tossed in a simple creamy and slightly spicy sauce.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/a>Forget the mess and grease that comes with deep frying, air frying is the way to go! If you haven’t jumped on the air fryer train yet, now is the time. I use my air fryer<\/a> at least 5 times per week. Worth it!<\/em><\/p>\n If you’re not familiar with Bang Bang Chicken, it’s a classic Asian dish that consists of deep fried, crispy breaded chicken breast pieces that are then tossed in a creamy, slightly sweet and spicy sauce. Now you can easily make this fantastic dish at home without the mess of a deep fryer!<\/p>\n You’ll be hooked. Trust me.<\/p>\n The list of ingredients for the breaded chicken is short and sweet. However, it’s a great jumping off point for any “fried chicken” recipe, and can take on just about any flavor profile you like.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This method of breading chicken is pretty straightforward, but can get messy pretty quickly if you’re not paying attention. Using one hand to manage dry ingredients and the other hand to manage the wet ingredients, you’ll be able to keep your fingers fairly clean and reduce buildup of breading ingredients in the bowls.<\/p>\n This is the most time consuming part of the recipe, however, it should only take about 10 minutes to complete the whole process. Well worth it, in my opinion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While you’re finishing up with breading your chicken, turn on your air fryer to get it preheated. To preheat an air fryer simply let it run for about 3 to 5 minutes at the desired temperature before adding the ingredients.<\/p>\n Try my Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Tenders<\/a> for a bigger crunchy version!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This classic sauce is mayo-based and filled with sweet chili sauce, Sriracha hot sauce and a little bit of sugar to balance it all out.<\/p>\n You can find the Sweet Chili Sauce and Sriracha hot sauce in the Asian section of the grocery store.<\/p>\n I’ve used the sweet chili sauce in recipes like my Thai Cucumber Salad<\/a> and in the dipping sauce for Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp<\/a>. It’s a great condiment to have in your fridge. You’ll love it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This recipe makes for quite a bit of sauce. Either coat the hot chicken in the sauce, drizzle it over the top of the chicken, or serve it on the side for dipping.<\/p>\n You may find you have more sauce than you need, but no worries, you can easily refrigerate and store this sauce for up to 2 weeks<\/strong>. Perfect for making this Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken recipe again and again!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can serve this crispy chicken as an appetizer or pair with any of these easy sides and make it a main dish.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are a few of my favorite Asian recipes that are a hit with the family!<\/p>\nAir Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Recipe<\/h2>\n
