I discovered Bang Bang Chicken when I searched for popular recipes for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Several recipes titled Bang Bang Chicken came up, which pleasantly surprised me. What was this dish and why was it so popular?
Are you familiar with Bang Bang Chicken? Have you ever made it or tried it?
I haven’t, but I can tell you that by the time I finished my scrolling and reading a few dozen posts, recipes, and information, I was hungry and dreaming of making this mouth-watering chicken dish.
There are several common characteristics to these recipes. Some posts share a lot of information about the history, cooking methods, and serving suggestions. Some don’t, but focus strictly on the recipe.
I discovered the background of this iconic dish, the different cooking methods, and the variety of seasonings.
All the recipes look and sound absolutely delicious. I couldn’t wait to try Bang Bang Chicken myself, which I did!

- All include some method of frying to cook the chicken.
- All include a spicy, creamy Bang Bang Sauce for Chicken.
What Differences Do the Recipes Have?

- Some are served as finger food; some are served on skewers.
- Some are deep-fried; some use an air fryer.
- Most are served as an appetizer; a few recommend side dishes to serve with the chicken as a main course.
- Some serve the sauce on the side; some drizzle the sauce on top of the chicken.
How to Use These Recipes
When I showed Sweet Shark the pictures of these recipes and described the dish, he said they sounded delicious and asked when I was going to make a batch. How about for Memorial Day weekend?
This recipe would also be good for any outdoor party (4th of July), a pool party, a football or baseball party, or a birthday party.
My advice: have plenty of napkins or wipes on hand for clean up.
When I was teaching cooking classes, I would often print out a few recipes for the same dish. Then I would pick the seasonings or method I preferred. Usually, the result was a better recipe than the originals.
Here is what I plan to do:
- Read the posts and recipes (PIN them to your food Pinterest Boards.)
- Pick your favorites, maybe five of them.
- Narrow the recipes down to one or two. Maybe you would prefer pan-frying over using an air-fryer, maybe you want thighs instead of chicken breasts, or maybe you like the seasonings of one sauce over another.
- Once you have your final recipe combination, you can begin your preparation.
