Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced

1 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cup broccoli florets, steamed

1 avocado, sliced

¼ cup green onions, chopped

¼ cup roasted peanuts, crushed

¼ cup cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for heat preference)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the diced chicken with cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.

    Fry the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

      Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth and creamy.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice as the base. Top with the fried chicken, steamed broccoli, and sliced avocado.

          Finish with Toppings: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, crushed peanuts, and fresh cilantro for garnish.

            Serve: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl immediately, savoring the crispy chicken paired with the creamy, spicy sauce and fresh toppings!
