- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 cups plain panko breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper

- ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 4 tsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp honey
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
- Marinate chicken tenderloins in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to keep them moist and tender.
- Set up three bowls: whisk egg with a splash of buttermilk in one, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne in another, and place panko breadcrumbs in the third.
- Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in egg wash, then press into breadcrumbs until fully coated. Arrange on a tray.
- Heat canola oil to 350°F. Fry chicken in small batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack.
- Mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Adjust spice level to taste.
- Drizzle sauce over chicken or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with parsley.
