Preparation
- Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, pour in the buttermilk and submerge the chicken pieces. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well mixed.
- After marinating, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and dredge each piece in the prepared flour mixture until fully coated. Let sit on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey (if using). Stir until fully incorporated, adjusting sriracha to taste.
- In a skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by ½ inch and heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove fried chicken using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the crispy fried chicken drizzled with Bang Bang sauce or on the side for dipping, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes
For best results, ensure chicken is fully submerged in buttermilk and allow it to rest on a wire rack before frying.
