🛒 What You’ll Need

For the Bang Bang Chicken:

  • 1 lb Chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces 🍗
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch (for that signature crunch!) ✨
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise 🥣
  • 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce 🍯
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (add more if you love the heat!) 🌶️
  • 1 tsp Honey 🍯

For the Fried Rice:

  • 4 cups Cooked rice (chilled day-old rice is best!) 🍚
  • 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots 🥕🫛
  • 2 Eggs, lightly beaten 🥚
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce 🥣
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil 🪵
  • 2 Green onions, sliced 🌱
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Crisp the Chicken: Toss chicken pieces in cornstarch until coated. Fry in a hot, oiled skillet until golden brown and crispy. Set aside. 🍗🔥
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey. Toss the crispy chicken in the sauce until fully glazed. 🌪️🌶️🤤
  3. Scramble: In the same skillet (clean it out first!), scramble the eggs until set, then remove and set aside. 🍳🥚
  4. Sauté Veggies: Add a splash of sesame oil to the pan. Sauté the garlic, peas, and carrots until tender and fragrant. 🧄🥕
  5. The Rice Mix: Add the cold rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the soy sauce and cooked eggs. Toss over high heat for 3–5 minutes until the rice starts to “crackle.” 🍚🥢🔥
  6. Combine & Serve: Top the savory fried rice with a generous helping of the Bang Bang chicken. 🏗️✨
  7. Final Touch: Garnish with fresh green onions and an extra drizzle of sauce if you’re feeling bold! 🍽️🌱😋

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Bang” Secret: If you want extra crispy chicken, double-dredge it in the cornstarch before frying! 🍗💎
  • Rice Texture: Make sure your rice is cold and dry before frying; this prevents it from getting mushy and gives you that perfect takeout texture. 🍚❄️🎯
