Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil, for frying
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (bang bang sauce)
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce (bang bang sauce)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha (bang bang sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (bang bang sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lime juice, optional (bang bang sauce)
  • 2 cups cooked and cooled rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or sesame)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, optional
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for finishing)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and optional vinegar or lime juice. Toss crispy chicken in the sauce to coat.
  4. In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Scramble the eggs, then push to the side of the pan.
  5. Add onion, garlic, peas, and carrots. Sauté until softened.
  6. Add cooked rice, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry to combine with vegetables and egg.
  7. Drizzle in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir to coat evenly and heat through.
  8. Serve fried rice topped with bang bang chicken and garnish with green onions.

Notes

  • Use day-old jasmine rice for best fried rice texture.
  • Bake or air-fry chicken for a lighter version.
  • Make bang bang sauce ahead—it keeps for 5 days in the fridge.
  • Customize spice level with more or less sriracha.
  • Add extra veggies like bell peppers or broccoli to boost nutrition.
