Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish using oil or nonstick spray to ensure the chicken doesn’t stick.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Make Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble Dish: Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken and spread it evenly so each piece is well coated.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  6. Optional Broil: For a caramelized and slightly crispy top, switch your oven to broil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Then sprinkle chopped green onions and optional red pepper flakes over the top for freshness and a little heat.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the Bang Bang Chicken baked dish served over steamed rice, alongside your favorite vegetables, or wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.

Notes

  • For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in the prepared sauce for 1 to 2 hours before baking.
  • Boneless chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier, more flavorful result.
  • To make this recipe kid-friendly, reduce or omit the sriracha sauce to decrease the spiciness.
