Bang Bang Chicken Fried Rice combines crispy chicken coated in a sweet-spicy bang bang sauce with savory fried rice for a bold, comforting, and satisfying meal. It’s quick enough for weeknights and delicious enough to impress guests.

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch (for coating)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Coat chicken pieces in cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok and cook chicken until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  3. Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey together to make bang bang sauce. Toss cooked chicken in sauce until coated.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
  5. Add peas and carrots, cooking until heated through.
  6. Push vegetables to the side, add beaten eggs, and scramble until cooked.
  7. Stir in rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil until heated through and evenly coated.
  8. Top fried rice with bang bang chicken and garnish with green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute shrimp for chicken for a seafood twist.
  • Top with chopped peanuts or cashews for crunch.
  • Swap peas and carrots for broccoli or bell peppers.
  • Add extra sriracha for more heat.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet with soy sauce or water; crisp chicken separately in oven or air fryer.
