Instructions

Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
To make the sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Adjust the sriracha to taste.
Toss the cooked chicken in the Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
To assemble, place rice in bowls and top with shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and green onions.
Add the saucy chicken on top of the veggies. Drizzle with any extra Bang Bang sauce and garnish with green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like peanuts or cashews over the top before serving.
If you prefer, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to preserve the crispiness of the chicken.
