Description

How to make crispy Bang Bang Chicken Bowls with a creamy, spicy sauce and fresh veggies that are ready for dinner in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Base/Main Components:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • Flavor Builders:
  • 2–3 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (unseasoned)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Seasonings/Frying:
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Finishing/Toppings:
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss chicken pieces with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. This crucial step creates a wonderfully crispy exterior for your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  2. Make Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust Sriracha for your preferred spice level in this delicious Bang Bang sauce.
  3. Fry Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Avoid overcrowding for best crispiness.
  4. Coat Chicken: Once all chicken is fried, transfer it immediately to the bowl with your prepared creamy Bang Bang sauce. Gently toss the chicken until each piece is fully coated. This ensures every bite of your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is bursting with flavor.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the warm, cooked white rice evenly among four serving bowls. Spoon generous portions of the saucy Bang Bang chicken over the rice. This forms the delicious base of your satisfying and easy weeknight meal.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Finish your Irresistible Bang Bang Chicken Bowl by sprinkling generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm, adding extra Sriracha or sweet chili sauce if you crave more heat. Enjoy!

Notes

Fry chicken in batches, avoiding overcrowding, for perfect golden crispiness.

Store leftover Bang Bang Chicken Bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

You can substitute canola or peanut oil for vegetable oil; they have high smoke points.

Serve immediately while warm, garnished with fresh lime juice to cut through the rich sauce.

Prepare sauce up to two days ahead; chilling deepens flavors and saves precious time.
