Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (natural)
  • 1 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent (optional)

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces or thin strips. Pat dry to ensure a crispy coating if frying, then season lightly with garlic powder (natural) and a pinch of salt for juicy and flavorful meat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat with a bit of oil. Cook chicken pieces for 4 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through, achieving a nice sear while keeping the chicken tender.
  3. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (plant-based), sriracha (natural), honey (natural), rice vinegar (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth. Adjust sriracha amount according to your heat preference. For a thicker sauce, blend in the natural gelling agent and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
  4. Combine Chicken with Sauce: Gently toss the cooked chicken pieces in the prepared sauce until fully coated, ensuring every piece is generously covered with creamy, spicy sauce.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the coated chicken before plating to add color contrast and a subtle crunch.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking and consistent texture.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control spice level to your taste.
  • Use fresh green onions and sesame seeds for enhanced flavor and presentation.
  • Avoid overcooking chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Allow chicken to marinate briefly with seasoning before cooking to deepen the flavor.
