The exact recipe for bang bang sauce is: 1 cup mayonaise 3 tbsp huy fong chili garlic sauce 1 tbsp mae ploy sweet chili sauce 1 tsp lemon juice (mae ploy is a thai company) This info was from a chef that worked at Bonefish Grill.

This was the best tasting version of the BG dish that I've found. Although there are recipes that are easier (less ingredients that is) that are almost as good. Just a note to JPKnight22 -Sriracha is the name of the type of chili sauce (comes from the Thailand town), Huy Fong is a brand (that's the one with the rooster on the bottle).
