Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cornstarch

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to spice preference)

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup steamed broccoli florets

1/2 cup shredded carrots

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize. This can be done in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

    Coat the Chicken: In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then toss the chicken in the cornstarch mixture until fully coated.

      Breading: Dip the coated chicken pieces back into buttermilk and then coat them in panko breadcrumbs to give a crunchy texture.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

          Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha based on your taste preference.

            Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, create a base with jasmine rice. Top with fried chicken pieces, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce.

              Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.

                Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Bowl warm as a perfect fusion of flavors and textures!
