This bang bang chicken is a wonderful westernised version of an extremely popular Chinese Sichuan dish. Stir fried Asian greens and jasmine rice are served with grilled chicken thighs seasoned with a combination of aromatic spices and brushed with a creamy sweet and spicy bang bang sauce. This meal comes together with a few minutes of prep time and rivals your favourite Chinese takeout!

Frying-Pan
Pot
Bowl
BBQ (optional)
In a pot, combine the jasmine rice, a pinch of salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered until ready to serve. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Tip! When you swap the chef selected protein adjust the cooking times and method to ensure your protein is properly cooked and therefore safe to eat.
Trim ends of pak choy and kai lan. Chop the kai lan stems and leaves into 5cm pieces. Preheat BBQ if using.
In a bowl, add spice mix, 2 tbsp of oil, and chicken thighs. Toss to coast well. In another bowl combine (to taste) sriracha mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and honey. Mix well, then add half to the bowl with the chicken. Keep the remaining bang bang sauce to serve with the cooked chicken.
To a hot BBQ or a frying pan over a high heat add the marinated chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Add oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium high heat. Add the pak choy and kai lan and stir fry for 4 minutes or until leaves have wilted and are bright green. If you like heat, add some of the chilli flakes to the pan along with greens. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide rice, greens and chicken between serving plates. Drizzle extra bang bang sauce over the chicken and garnish with any remaining chilli flakes if desired.
