Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken dry and cut it into even bite-size pieces. Stir the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in one bowl; set the beaten eggs and panko in two more bowls.

  2. 2

    Coat each chicken piece in the flour mixture, dip it in egg, and press it into the panko until no damp spots show. Set the breaded pieces on a rack while the oil heats.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes, turning once or twice, until golden and 165°F inside. Move it to a rack or paper towel-lined plate.

  4. 4

    Whisk the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a bowl until smooth. Taste and add a little more sriracha if you want extra heat.

  5. 5

    Toss the hot chicken with just enough sauce to coat it, then top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve right away while the coating is crisp.
