Spicy Honey-Ginger Chicken Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce

Juicy chicken glazed in a spicy honey-ginger sauce served over fluffy rice with crisp vegetables and creamy yum yum sauce for a vibrant, flavorful bowl.[3][4]

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp chili paste or sriracha, 2 tbsp fresh grated ginger, 4 garlic cloves minced, 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • For yum yum sauce: 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire or rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt and pepper to taste, water to thin
  • For bowls: 2 cups cooked rice, sliced cucumbers, sliced avocado, green onions, fried wontons or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss chicken strips with 2 tbsp tamari, 1/4 cup orange juice, and cornstarch. Spread on a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes.[1]
  2. While baking, mix remaining tamari, orange juice, honey, chili paste, ginger, and garlic for sauce. Pour over chicken, bake 10 more minutes, then broil 2-3 minutes until crispy and thickened.[1]
  3. Make yum yum sauce by whisking mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and water until smooth. Chill.[4]
  4. Assemble bowls: rice base, top with sliced avocado, cucumber, chicken, green onions, fried wontons, chili crisp, and yum yum sauce.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier results; store-bought chili crisp and wontons save time. Adjust chili paste for spice level. Double sauce for extra drizzling.[1]
