A recipe for quick and creamy bowls featuring crispy chicken coated in a spicy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a second dish, place the beaten eggs.
  3. In a third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
  6. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
  7. While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
  8. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with shredded lettuce and sliced cucumber.
  9. Place the crispy chicken pieces over the vegetables.
  10. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the chicken and vegetables.
  11. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For an air-fried option, spray the coated chicken with cooking spray and air fry at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level of the sauce.
