🍯🌶️Spicy Honey-Ginger Chicken Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce 🍯🌶️

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thigh,

1 tablespoon + ⅓ cup tamari or soy sauce (divided)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons orange juice

¼ cup honey

2-3 tablespoons chili paste

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

For Serving:

3-4 cups cooked rice

Sliced cucumber

Sliced avocado

Kimchi

Fried wontons

For the Yum Yum Sauce:

⅓ cup olive oil mayo

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare and Bake the Chicken:

On a large baking sheet, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Season with black pepper. Sprinkle cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) over the chicken and lightly toss. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.

Make the Sauce:

While the chicken bakes, whisk together ⅓ cup of tamari, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, honey, chili paste, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.

Finish Cooking the Chicken:

After the chicken has baked for 30 minutes, pour two-thirds of the sauce over it and toss to coat. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until cooked through. Switch the oven to broil for the final 1-2 minutes to char the edges of the chicken. If desired, drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken once it’s done.

Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix the mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste with more cayenne or salt.

Assemble the Bowls:

To serve, place cooked rice in bowls and top with the chicken sliced, cucumber, avocado, kimchi, and fried wontons. Spoon the yum yum sauce over everything, and enjoy!
