Ingredients
Method
1. Heat Things Up
Set your oven to 200°C (400°F). While it warms, lightly grease a baking dish so nothing sticks later—cleanup will thank you.
2. Make That Signature Sauce
Grab a bowl and whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until silky smooth. Tip: Taste and tweak the spice level now—this is your flavor base.
3. Coat the Chicken
Drop each chicken breast into the sauce and turn to coat completely. Don’t rush—full coverage = full flavor.
4. Add the Crunch
Roll the coated chicken in Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they stick well. You’re building that irresistible crispy layer here.
5. Season & Bake
Arrange the chicken in your baking dish. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the top. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating turns golden and crisp.
6. Finish Strong
Let it rest for a few minutes after baking. Then sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve hot and watch it disappear fast.

❓ FAQs
Can I use chicken thighs instead?Absolutely. They’ll be juicier, just adjust cooking time slightly. Is this super spicy?
Not overly. It has a mild kick, but you control the heat level. Can I make it ahead?
Yes! Coat the chicken and refrigerate, then bake when ready. Why Panko instead of regular breadcrumbs?
Panko gives that light, airy crunch—way crispier result.
