Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  3. Mix Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful Bang Bang sauce.
  4. Arrange and Coat Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken evenly, spreading it to coat the pieces fully.
  5. Bake: Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked and juicy.
  6. Broil (Optional): For a caramelized and slightly crispy top, broil the chicken for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain moisture. Then, sprinkle with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes if desired for an extra pop of flavor and color.
  8. Serve: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Bake hot, ideally over steamed rice, fresh vegetables, or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Broiling at the end is optional but adds a delicious caramelized finish to the dish.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option, adjusting cook time accordingly.
  • Serve with rice or low-carb alternatives like cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
