Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

  • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a large bowl until sauce is well combined. Reserve 3/4 cup sauce and set aside.

  2. Place flour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken; seal the bag and shake to coat. Transfer coated chicken pieces to sauce in the large bowl and stir to combine.

  4. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  5. Place as many chicken pieces into the air fryer basket without overcrowding.

  6. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken.

  7. Transfer fried chicken to another large bowl and pour reserved sauce over the top. Sprinkle with green onions and toss to coat. Serve hot.
