Instructions

Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, honey, and sriracha until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Toss chicken cubes with vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 11–12 minutes, flipping halfway, or pan-fry in a skillet for 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add ½ cup of the Bang Bang sauce to the cooked chicken and toss to coat.
Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, add 1 cup of cooked rice. Top with ½ cup shredded cabbage, ¼ cup carrots, ¼ cup cucumber, and a portion of Bang Bang chicken. Add sliced avocado, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Drizzle extra Bang Bang sauce if desired.

Notes

You can prepare all ingredients in advance for meal prep. Substitute Greek yogurt for part of the mayo for a lighter sauce. Customize your bowl with edamame, mango, or pickled onions.
