FAQ
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes! Boneless, skinless thighs work well and stay juicy, but adjust baking time to 30–35 minutes.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! The Bang Bang sauce can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
Can I freeze the cooked chicken?
Yes. Cool completely, wrap in foil or plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven for best results.
