Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded cabbage (purple or green)

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

1 avocado, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.

    Breading Station: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with cornstarch, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

      Bread the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the cornstarch (coating it lightly), then into the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel.

          Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Mix well until smooth.

            Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, layer the cooked jasmine rice, shredded cabbage, crispy chicken, avocado slices, and drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce.

              Garnish: Top with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves.

                Serve: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl immediately, garnished with extra sauce on the side if desired.
