STEP BY STEP METHOD
- Prepare the chicken: Add chicken pieces to a bowl with cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
- Make the sauce: Mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
- Cook the eggs: In the same skillet, add the eggs and scramble until just cooked. Remove them to one side of the pan.
- Add vegetables: Add garlic and mixed vegetables. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add rice: Add the chilled cooked rice. Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, then stir fry everything together for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine: Add the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs back into the skillet. Toss everything together.
- Add Bang Bang sauce: Turn the heat to low and drizzle in about half of the sauce. Mix gently until the chicken and rice are coated.
- Serve: Top with chopped green onions and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce on the side.
🔥 Extra Tips
Use cold leftover rice for the best fried rice texture. Fresh hot rice can become soft and sticky. For extra crunch, add sesame seeds or chopped peanuts before serving.
