A flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Rice Bowl featuring crispy breaded chicken tossed in a spicy, creamy sauce, served over a bed of fluffy rice and fresh vegetables. Ready in 30 minutes, this dish combines crunchy textures with vibrant flavors for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce

Rice Bowl Components

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Season the bite-sized chicken pieces evenly with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring flavorful bites.
  2. Prepare Coating: Dredge each chicken piece first in all-purpose flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs to achieve a crispy texture when fried.
  3. Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4–6 minutes per batch. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha sauce. Mix well until smooth to create the creamy, spicy bang bang sauce.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Place cooked rice at the bottom of serving bowls. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and shredded carrots, then add the crispy fried chicken pieces on top.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the assembled bowls. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase the amount of sriracha in the sauce.
  • Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Ensure the oil temperature is medium to avoid burning the coating while allowing the chicken to cook through.
  • This dish can easily be doubled for larger gatherings.
  • Leftover bang bang sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
