how to make Honey Sriracha Chicken Bites with Creamy Ranch Dip
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk.
- Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- For each piece of chicken, dredge in the seasoned flour (shake off excess), dip into buttermilk, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken bites in batches (do not overcrowd) until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk honey, Sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth to form the sauce.
- Once the chicken bites are cooked, toss them with the honey-Sriracha sauce in the skillet or in a mixing bowl to coat evenly.
- In another bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the creamy ranch dip. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve the sauced chicken bites warm, alongside the creamy ranch dip for dipping.
