Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Sauce
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Chicken: Arrange the chicken thighs evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked and slightly golden.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While the chicken is baking, in a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, and sriracha until smooth and well combined. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Toss Chicken in Sauce: Once the chicken thighs are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the bang bang sauce over the chicken and toss gently to coat each piece evenly with the sauce.
- Serve: Serve the coated chicken thighs hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired, alongside rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can adjust the spice level by varying the amount of sriracha in the sauce.
- For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice, noodles, or a crisp green salad.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
