Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken tenderloins

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey for the sauce; set aside.
  2. Marinate chicken in buttermilk for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare a breading station: one bowl with flour mixed with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne; another with whisked egg and Sriracha; and a third with panko breadcrumbs.
