WHAT IS BANG BANG CHICKEN?

Bang bang chicken is a dish consisting of steamed and sliced chicken served over julienned cucumber – with a savory, nutty, sweet (and sometimes spicy) dressing.

The chicken can be served cold, at room temperature or hot.

Now, while there are many Western influenced breaded recipes with chicken that also get the moniker bang bang chicken, the original is actually a Chinese recipe called bon bon chicken.

Bon bon literally means ‘bang bang’ and is a nod to the fact that many bang bang chicken recipes call for the meat to be tenderized with a mallet prior to cooking.
