Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 tablespoons Sriracha chile sauce, divided
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
  • 1 cup uncooked white jasmine rice
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, divided
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, divided
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup thinly sliced green onions
  • sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss together chicken, onion powder, 2 tablespoons Sriracha, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon garlic until well combined in a large bowl. Sprinkle with flour until completely coated.
  • Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in 2 batches, add chicken in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Transfer chicken to a plate. Do not wipe skillet clean. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in rice, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and rice is toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in broth and bring to a boil over medium-high. Remove from heat and top evenly with chicken. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender and cooked through, 22 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons Sriracha, and 1 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar until smooth. Transfer to a squeeze bottle, or transfer to a resealable plastic bag, reseal the bag, and cut off a small corner.
  • Drizzle casserole with bang bang sauce as desired. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
