Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

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

Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper for balanced flavor.
  3. Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  4. Arrange and coat chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken and spread it evenly to ensure every piece is well covered.
  5. Bake the chicken: Bake the chicken uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is cooked through and safe to eat.
  6. Optional broil step: For a caramelized and slightly crispy top, broil the chicken for an additional 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Rest and garnish: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Then sprinkle with chopped green onions and, if desired, red pepper flakes for a hint of extra heat.
  8. Serve: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Bake over cooked rice, alongside steamed vegetables, or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha amount to control the spice level according to your taste preference.
  • Broiling at the end is optional but adds a lovely caramelized texture to the sauce.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Serve with rice or veggies for a complete meal, or use lettuce wraps for a lighter version.
