bang bang air fryer chicken

a refreshingly easy and quick week night meal idea!

Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

bang bang sauce

  • 1 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey

everything else

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 2 large chicken breasts

Instructions

  • Begin by scoring the chicken breasts with cross-hatch cuts, creating grooves about ⅛-inch deep and ½-inch apart. Craft a spice blend by combining garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and seasoned salt, generously seasoning both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • Next, whip up the tantalizing Bang Bang sauce by mixing mayo, chili sauce, and hot honey. Remember to set aside a couple of tablespoons of this sauce for a delightful drizzle when serving.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the air fryer basket, generously spreading approximately 2 tablespoons of the Bang Bang sauce on top. Air fry at 400°F for approximately 25 minutes, adjusting the time based on the size of the chicken breasts, until the internal temperature reaches a perfect 165 degrees.
  • Allow the air-fried chicken to rest for a blissful 10 minutes, then serve it over fluffy white rice. Drizzle the reserved Bang Bang sauce over the top, garnish with cilantro or green onions
