Instructions
 

Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten egg. In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.

      Bread the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer cooked jasmine rice as the base. Top with shredded cabbage, fried chicken pieces, sliced cucumbers, and diced avocado.

            Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the assembled bowls. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
