  • Mayonnaise
  • Sriracha sauce
  • Honey or sugar
  • Rice vinegar or lime juice
  • Garlic powder

Garnishes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting your chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Pan-fry or bake the chicken until golden and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook to keep the meat juicy and tender.
  3. Whip Up the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Toss Chicken in Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, gently toss it in the sauce until every piece is evenly coated with the creamy, spicy mixture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top to add fresh crunch and vibrant color.

Notes

  • Use fresh chicken for better taste and tender texture.
  • Adjust Sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Toss the chicken gently but thoroughly in the sauce to ensure even coating.
  • Toast sesame seeds before garnishing to add a nutty aroma and depth of flavor.
  • Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
