Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices. Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F - 375°F for crispy results. Carefully add the seasoned chicken to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and let it drain on a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and vinegar. Whisk together until you achieve a creamy consistency, adjusting the thickness by adding water if needed. Taste and modify any ingredients to balance the flavor to your liking.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare your base—whether it’s rice, quinoa, or noodles. If using rice, rinse it under cold water, then cook according to package instructions, typically about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done and your base is cooked, it’s time to assemble. In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of your chosen base. Cut the fried chicken into slices and arrange them on top. Drizzle a hearty amount of the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken.
- Top your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl with sliced green onions, diced red bell peppers, and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts or cashews. Finish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best results, recombine the chicken and sauce just before serving.
