Prepare 1 kilo of chicken fillet by slicing it into pieces.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 whole egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined.

Dredge the chicken pieces in cornstarch or potato starch.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the chicken.

Dip the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy.

For the bang bang sauce, mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon corn syrup or honey, and 1 tablespoon Sriracha.

Drizzle the sauce over the fried chicken or serve it on the side using a pastry bag or squeeze bottle.

Do not drizzle the sauce until ready to serve to keep the chicken crispy.
