Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
For Serving
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of seasoned chicken in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked chicken to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with shredded lettuce or cabbage.
  7. Spoon the sauced Bang Bang Chicken over the lettuce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
