1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken:
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the beaten eggs in a separate bowl.
Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, dip in the egg, and then coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside.
2. Fry the Chicken:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 175°C (350°F).
Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per batch.
Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth.
4. Assemble:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the fried chicken with the prepared Bang Bang sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer to a serving dish.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately as an appetizer or with rice or noodles for a main dish.
Enjoy your crispy, spicy, and sweet Bang Bang Chicken! 🌟
