Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then dredge in cornstarch to coat.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey to make the bang bang sauce.
  4. Toss the crispy chicken in the sauce until evenly coated.
  5. To assemble the bowls, layer cooked rice, lettuce or greens, shredded carrots, and cucumber.
  6. Top with sauced chicken and garnish with sliced green onions.
  7. Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra tenderness.
  • Bake or air-fry the chicken for a lighter version.
  • Substitute rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for variety.
  • Add avocado slices or a drizzle of lime juice for freshness.
  • Store chicken and rice separately to maintain crispiness when reheating.
