Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your amazing Bang Bang Chicken Bowl:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Coat the Chicken: Place cornstarch in a bowl and coat each piece of chicken evenly, shaking off any excess cornstarch.
3. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until thoroughly combined.
6. Prepare the Bowl: In a serving bowl, place a portion of cooked rice as the base.
7. Layer the Ingredients: On top of the rice, add fried chicken pieces followed by shredded carrots, cucumber, and sliced bell pepper.
8. Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the assembled bowl.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro on top for added flavor and beauty.
