Creating The BEST Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is straightforward! Follow these easy steps to make this delectable dish at home:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. Coat with Corn Starch: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until well coated. This will make your chicken crispy!
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the coated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Allow them to cook for about 5–7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
5. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice in a separate bowl.
6. Combine: Once the chicken is done, lower the heat and pour the Bang Bang Sauce over the cooked chicken. Toss to ensure every piece is coated in the sauce.
