  • 2 | green onions | sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Prep and Cook
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth, then set aside.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and toss them in a bowl with cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
  5. Cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, tossing quickly to coat every piece.
  7. Divide the cooked jasmine rice into four bowls and top each with a generous portion of the saucy chicken.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, serve the chicken immediately after tossing in the sauce to maintain the crispiness of the cornstarch coating. Store any leftover chicken and rice separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days and reheat the chicken in an air fryer to restore the crunch.
