Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with baking (parchment) paper.
  • Make the bang bang sauce – Combine the bang bang sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Reserve one-quarter of the sauce in a separate bowl to brush over the raw chicken prior to baking.
  • Prep the chicken – Place the chicken on a chopping board with a sheet of baking paper over the top. Use a mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness. Cut each piece in half vertically.
  • Marinate the chicken – Place the chicken in a large shallow bowl and add the sweet paprika, onion powder, black pepper, tamari, brown sugar and olive oil. Using tongs, toss the chicken to coat it evenly in the marinade.
  • Cook the chicken – Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking tray, so that it is not overlapping.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the reserved one-quarter of the bang bang sauce all over the tops of the chicken pieces.
  • Bake the chicken for 25–30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  • Serve – Serve with steamed rice, red cabbage, carrot and cucumber. Drizzle with the remaining bang bang sauce and sprinkle with spring onions.
