Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Rice or lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Add Chicken to Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them, making sure they are well coated.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (an internal temperature of 165°F).
- Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce to coat evenly.
- Serve: Dish out the Bang Bang Chicken over rice or in lettuce wraps and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise or use Greek yogurt as a swap. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
