Bang Bang Chicken
Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Place three medium mixing bowls in a line. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second, whisk together the eggs, water, black pepper and salt. In the third, mix together the bread crumbs, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika.

Step 3

In small batches, coat the chicken in the flour, then dredge in the egg mixture and then coat with the panko mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.

Step 4

Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes until the top of the chicken is lightly golden. Remove from the oven, gently turn the chicken over with tongs and lightly spray with cooking spray again. Return to the oven and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until crispy and lightly golden brown. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce lightly over the top of the chicken and garnish with sliced green onion. Serve the remaining sauce in a small dipping bowl.
