Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup corn starch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup panko bread crumbs

Oil, for frying

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

½ cup green onions, sliced

½ cup cilantro, chopped

Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine corn starch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, place the beaten egg. In a third bowl, add the panko bread crumbs.

    Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken in the corn starch mixture, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it in the egg, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

      Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

        Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust spice level to taste.

          Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with fried chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and garnish with green onions and cilantro.

            Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and veggies in each bowl.

              Serve: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowls warm and savor the explosion of flavors!
