Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 small carrot, julienned

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

3 green onions, finely chopped

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: one with cornstarch, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

    Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in cornstarch, shaking off the excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place the breaded chicken on a plate.

      Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once heated, carefully add the breaded chicken in batches. Fry until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice. Top with fried chicken pieces. Add sliced cucumbers, carrots, red bell pepper, and avocado on the side. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the top.

            Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and fresh cilantro to finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Bowl!
