Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded green cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Dredge them in cornstarch, shaking off excess, dip them in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

    Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken thighs. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and allow to drain on paper towels.

      Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until well combined. Taste and adjust the spice level if needed.

        Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice in the bowl. Layer on shredded cabbage, carrots, and avocado slices. Slice the fried chicken and arrange on top of the vegetables.

          Finish with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with green onions and fresh cilantro for added freshness and flavor.

            Serve: Enjoy your delightful Bang Bang Chicken Bowl right away!
