Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil (for frying)

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage

½ cup chopped green onions

¼ cup chopped cilantro (for garnish)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

1 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spice preference)

1 tsp honey

1 tsp lime juice

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in a bowl with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

    Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls: one with cornstarch, one with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs. Season the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Coat the Chicken: Take a piece of marinated chicken, dredge it in cornstarch, dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Repeat with all chicken pieces.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and well blended.

            Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer cooked rice as the base. Top with fried chicken pieces, then add shredded carrots, sliced red cabbage, and a sprinkle of green onions. Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce and garnish with cilantro.

              Serve & Enjoy: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Bowls immediately while warm, allowing everyone to mix their bowls as they desire.
