  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
For the spicy drizzle

For the bowls

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Large skillet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook on low for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff.
  2. Slice the chicken into strips and season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and oregano.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. While the chicken cooks, steam or sauté broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes until tender but still bright green.
  5. In a bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and ginger.
  6. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the sauce mixture.
  7. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened and glossy, coating the chicken evenly.
  8. In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and water until smooth and pourable.
  9. Assemble bowls with rice, broccoli, and sticky chicken.
  10. Drizzle with spicy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken sit in the sauce for a few minutes before serving so it absorbs more glaze.
