Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup diced cucumber

¼ cup green onions, sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

    Breading Station: Set up a breading station by placing flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the flour.

      Coat the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure all sides are covered well.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

          Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until smooth. Adjust Sriracha based on your preferred spice level.

            Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer cooked jasmine rice, shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, diced cucumber, and crispy chicken pieces.

              Add Garnishes: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

                Enjoy: Mix everything together and enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Bowl!
