Equipment

  • small bowl
  • sharp knife and cutting board
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Bang Bang sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoon chili garlic sauce or Sriracha

Instructions

  • Score the chicken breasts with 1-inch deep cuts spaced 1/2-inch apart, creating a cross-hatch pattern. Combine all the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt) and use this mixture to season both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • Make the bang bang sauce – Combine and mix together the Mayo, sweet chili sauce and chili garlic sauce or sriracha. Pour this sauce over the raw chicken equally. Optional: set aside about ½ of the sauce to drizzle over the dish when serving or to use as additional sauce for the rice.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket then air fry at 390° for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts or until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees.
  • Allow chicken to rest for approximately 10 minutes after cooking. I served this dish with white rice, cilantro, extra sauce.
