Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 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 your heat preference
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
For Serving
  • 4 cups cooked white rice Or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced green onions For garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chicken coating stations. Place flour, salt, and pepper in one shallow dish. Place beaten eggs in a second dish. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
  2. Dredge the chicken pieces first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip the floured chicken into the egg, letting excess drip off. Finally, coat the chicken thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth.
  6. Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and gently toss until all pieces are coated. Add more sauce if needed.
  7. Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with the sauced Bang Bang chicken, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.

Notes

For a crispier texture, you can bake the coated chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
