FOR THE BANG BANG CHICKEN

Oil

Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a wide pot to 375 degrees F. Do not let the oil boil. If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a tiny drop of flour. It will immediately sizzle up.

Buttermilk

Next, add the chicken and buttermilk to a large bowl. Toss to coat the chicken. Soak for a few minutes while the oil is heating.

Dry Ingredients

Whisk together then cornstarch, cayenne (or paprika) and a bit of salt and pepper into a separate large bowl.

Fry

Drain the chicken and shake off any excess buttermilk. Coat the chicken in the seasoned cornstarch mixture, then fry them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and start to lightly brown.

Drain

Remove and drain the chicken on paper towels.

Toss the chicken with the bang bang sauce then garnish with fresh parsley and spicy chili flakes.
