I have to admit I had never tried Bang Bang Chicken before this recipe, and I couldn’t believe what I had been missing. My friends would always ask about it, but I never knew how to make it. I am so glad that I stumbled across this recipe. This is seriously the most delicious chicken appetizer that I think I’ve ever tried, and my entire family – even my picky eaters – loves it, too!

We love appetizers at my house. I mean, why should you have to go out to a fancy restaurant to get a delicious appetizer? Why should you have to shell out about $20 each for those appetizers when you can make them at home, right? Well, let me tell you, this chicken recipe is going to knock your socks off. Seriously, this instantly became a hit at my house, and my kids are already asking me when I plan to make it again. They actually did the same thing with these healthy zucchini tortillas. My kids are huge fans of delicious appetizers, too!

So, this recipe only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish and the finish really is the bomb. Buttermilk, Corn Flakes, and various herbs give it a wonderful flavor and the rice vinegar gives it a nice little kick. I’m telling you, the last time I was this excited about a new recipe was when I made this Easter Bunny cake and well, that’s just because he’s so adorable.

If you’re looking for a great chicken appetizer recipe that is easy and pretty quick – you only need 15 minutes to prep it – this is definitely one you should try. The flavor is unlike anything you’ve ever had, and I’m sure that your family will love it as much as mine does.
