Crispy, juicy chicken bites tossed in a spicy-sweet sauce, served with a creamy sweet chili mayo for dipping—an easy crowd-pleaser made with just five ingredients.

I first made these bang bang chicken bites for a weekend gathering, and they disappeared within minutes. Everyone loved dipping them into the creamy sweet chili mayo, especially with the added kick from Sriracha.

Ingredients

  • Chicken: 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Breading: 1 cup (120 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • Sauce: 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweet chili sauce; 2 tbsp mayonnaise; 1 tbsp Sriracha (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

Prepare Oven & Sheet:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Bread Chicken:
Dredge chicken pieces in panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Arrange on prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake Bites:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
Mix Sauces:
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix sweet chili sauce and Sriracha (if using).
Make Mayo Dip:
In a separate small bowl, combine mayonnaise and 2 tbsp of the sweet chili mixture to create the dipping sauce.
Coat Chicken & Serve:
When chicken bites are done, toss with remaining sweet chili sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately with sweet chili mayo on the side.
