Homestyle Bang Bang Chicken

This is one of those recipes that feels like takeout night in the best possible way, but still somehow easy enough for a regular weeknight. The chicken gets a quick soak in a slightly sweet, garlicky marinade, then a crispy coating that fries up golden and really satisfying. The bang bang sauce is the real personality here—creamy, sweet, spicy, and a little addictive in that “just one more bite” way. Honestly, it’s hard not to start tasting it off the spoon before it even hits the chicken.

  2. Heat two to three inches oil in an eight-quart pot over medium heat, until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

It should be pretty similar, don't think any changes would need to be made.
