1-First, start by preparing your ingredients. Cut 1 3/4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and season them with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. In one bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and the remaining Sriracha from the 5 teaspoons total.

2-Next, coat the chicken. Dip the seasoned pieces into the egg mixture, then roll them in a blend of 2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Make sure each piece is fully coated for that perfect crunch.

3-Then, heat 1 cup of neutral oil in a pan to 350°F. Fry the chicken pieces for 3 to 5 minutes until they’re golden and cooked through. Once done, remove them and let them drain on a paper towel.

4-After that, prepare the sauce. Mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, and the reserved Sriracha. Toss the fried chicken in this sweet and spicy sauce until every bite is covered. For vegan adaptations, use tofu and vegan mayo in the same steps.

5-Finally, serve it up. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and offer extra sauce on the side. When I tried this with my kids, they loved dipping the pieces, making dinner feel like a fun event.
