Ingredients
  

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Garlic
  • Fresh ginger
  • Soy sauce
  • Sriracha sauce
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • Mayonnaise
  • Ketchup
  • Sriracha sauce
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Cooked white or brown rice
  • Green onions
  • Sesame seeds
  • Cucumbers and carrots optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by mixing garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Sriracha, honey, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Pour this marinade over your chicken, coating it evenly. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the flavors infuse every bite. 🥣
  • While the chicken is marinating, make your sauce! Combine mayo, ketchup, Sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk until smooth. Taste-test and adjust the spice if needed. This creamy sauce is a game-changer! 😋
  • Heat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally until it’s golden brown and cooked through. You’re aiming for tender, juicy pieces that pack a punch of flavor.
  • Layer your cooked rice into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the spicy chicken. Your kitchen will smell incredible at this point! 🍚
  • Drizzle the yum yum sauce generously over the chicken and rice. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. For a crunch, add cucumbers and carrots on the side. Doesn’t it look amazing already? 🌟
  • Grab a fork or chopsticks and dig in! This dish is best enjoyed fresh and warm. 🍴

Notes

  • Don’t skip marinating: It’s key to locking in all those incredible flavors.
  • Taste your sauce: Adjust the spice level to your preference. If you want it sweeter, add a touch more honey.
  • Cook chicken evenly: Don’t crowd your skillet, or your chicken may steam instead of sear.
  • Chill the veggies: Adding chilled cucumbers and carrots adds a refreshing crunch that contrasts perfectly with the spiciness.
