For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Feel free to substitute with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt You may use table salt as a substitute but reduce the amount slightly.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Opt for freshly cracked pepper for the best taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika You can switch it for smoked paprika for an extra kick.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Swap it with olive oil or avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Bang Bang Sauce Store-bought options are convenient if you’re short on time.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Substitute with chives if you like or omit for simplicity.

Equipment

  • large nonstick skillet

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Generously sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  3. Warm the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove chicken from the skillet; cover with foil to keep warm. Add Bang Bang sauce to the skillet, scraping browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and gently coat it with the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions.
