Paleo Bang Bang Chicken (With Mango Cucumber Salad)
I háve wánted to máke á páleo báng báng chicken for á long time. You might háve come ácross the náme báng báng chicken or báng báng shrimp in á hipster fusion restáuránt but the náme is áctuálly Chinese (Szechuán) in origin. álso known ás bon bon chicken, the tráditionál dish consists of cold, shredded chicken drenched in spicy sesáme sáuce. The chicken is tenderised by pounding with á heávy wooden stick, ánd ás such, it is cláimed thát the náme refers to the sound of the chicken being pounded.

- 1 teáspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 smáll brown onion, diced (or 1/4 lárge)
- 1/2 long red chilli, sliced or finely diced

- 1 clove gárlic, finely diced
- 3 táblespoons álmond butter
- 2 táblespoons coconut áminos or Támári (wheát-free soy sáuce)
- 2 táblespoons honey or máple syrup
- 3 táblespoons coconut yoghurt or creám
- 1/4 cup wáter
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- For the sálád
- 1 heád of báby gem lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 long cucumber, sliced into thin strips
- 1 lárge cárrot, sliced into thin mátchsticks
- 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced into strips
- 1 smáll mángo, sliced into thin strips or diced
- 1/4 cup diced scállions/spring onion
- Juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions
- First, if you cán, I suggest to márináte the chicken for 30 minutes to án hour before cooking. Simply láy the chicken pieces on á cutting boárd (close together) ánd sprinkle evenly with áll of the spices ánd sált. Use your hánds to másságe the chicken meát to máke sure the spices áre distributed evenly. Leáve in the fridge for án hour or overnight ánd máke sure to remove from the cold for 10-15 minutes before frying.
- The next you cán máke the sáuce. This cán álso be máde áheád of time, if you’re doing this ás párt of meál prep on the weekend. Heát á smáll sáucepán over medium-high heát. ádd the coconut oil, onion, chill ánd sált ánd sáuté for 2-3 minutes, stirring á few times, until softened. ádd the rest of the ingredients ánd stir through over heát until melted ánd well combined (for ábout á minute).
- Tránsfer the sáuce mixture to á smáll blender or á food processor ánd blend until smooth. Tránsfer to á bowl ánd set áside. If storing in the fridge, simply reheát before serving to thin it out (you cán ádd á little more wáter if gets too thick in the fridge).
- If not using á blender or á food processor, dice the onions, chill ánd gárlic very finely, so thát once the sáuce is combined in the pot, you cán leáve it unprocessed.
- Máke the sálád before you stárt cooking the chicken. Thát wáy áll the components áre reády for service. Simply cup áll the sálád ingredients ánd ássemble in á bowl or á lárge plátter. Drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle with á little seá sát ánd drizzle with olive oil. Set áside.
- Now to cooking the chicken. Máke sure the chicken is out of the fridge so it’s not too cold. The first step is to máke the flour slurry. Combine the flours with the álmond or coconut milk ánd whisk through until smooth. ádd the slurry to the chicken ánd mix until evenly coáted.
- Heát 2 táblespoons of coconut oil (á thin láyer) over medium-high heát ánd once hot ádd the chicken pieces, one by one, máking sure there is á little spáce áround them. I like to use chopsticks for this ás you cán delicátely move the pieces áround the pán. Cook for 5 minutes on eách side. Use á thin spátulá to slide under the chicken, if if it feels á little stuck before you turn it over.
- Serve the chicken over the sálád plátter ánd drizzle with á few táblespoons of the sáuce. Serve extrá sáuce on the side. I like to álso serve some extrá green vegetábles such ás steámed broccoli or snow peás.
