Instructions

Creating Skillet Bang Bang Chicken Thighs is easy! Just follow these step-by-step instructions to bring this incredible dish to life:

  1. Prep the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  4. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, and lime juice in a bowl until well combined.
  5. Cook Through: Lower the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Sauce it Up: Remove the lid and pour the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken, making sure it coats each piece well.
  7. Simmer in Sauce: Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
  9. Serve: Transfer the chicken thighs to a serving platter, spooning any remaining sauce over the top.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a stunning main dish that you can be proud to serve.
