2 eggs
1 cup cornstarch
Oil for frying

4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp hot sauce

1 tsp lemon juice

Bowl Base

Instructions

Step 1
Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Dip each piece in beaten eggs, then coat evenly with cornstarch for a crispy texture.

Step 2
Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 3
In a pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4
Toss the crispy chicken in the warm chili honey garlic sauce until fully coated and glossy.

Step 5
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Step 6
Assemble your bowl by adding a base of jasmine rice, then top with saucy chicken, fresh vegetables, and a generous drizzle of creamy sauce. Finish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Tips

Use cornstarch for maximum crispiness. Adjust chili level based on spice preference. Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes for a lighter version

Storage

Store chicken, rice, and sauces separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days for best texture and freshness.
