Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, sriracha, honey, lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth and creamy, with a wonderful blend of flavors.
  2. In another bowl, mix chicken chunks with paprika, onion powder, black pepper, soy sauce, and olive oil. Toss well to ensure each piece is coated evenly with the spices.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches a golden-brown color.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and pour in 1/4 cup of Bang Bang Sauce. Gently toss the chicken until every piece is nicely glazed and coated in that irresistible sauce.
  5. Place the saucy chicken over a bed of white rice. For added flavor and crunch, garnish with red cabbage, green onions, shredded carrots, and fresh cucumbers.
