Instructions

  1. Make the Bang Bang Sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey. Set aside.

  2. Prep the Chicken

    • In one bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    • In another, beat the eggs.

    • Dip chicken pieces in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.

  3. Fry the Chicken

    • Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Fry chicken pieces until golden and crispy (about 3–4 minutes per side).

    • Drain on paper towels.

  4. Assemble the Bowls

    • Divide rice among 4 bowls.

    • Add shredded lettuce/cabbage, carrots, and cucumber.

    • Top with crispy chicken and drizzle generously with bang bang sauce.

    • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

💡 Tips:

  • Air fryer option: Cook chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 mins, flipping halfway.

  • Use cauliflower instead of chicken for a vegetarian version.

  • Prep everything ahead and store separately for easy meal prep.
