Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup corn starch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon lime juice

Toppings:

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station: place flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with corn starch in a third dish.

    Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken thigh in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the panko-cornstarch mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.

      Fry the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken thighs. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

        Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, garlic powder, and lime juice. Mix well and taste; adjust spice level as desired.

          Assemble the Bowls: In bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice. Slice the fried chicken into strips and place on one side of the rice. Add shredded carrots, avocado slices, and sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top.

            Drizzle the Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and toppings. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Bowls warm and enjoy a delicious, hearty meal!
