Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in the cornstarch mixture until fully coated.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.

      Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.

        Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, start with a base of jasmine rice. Top with sliced chicken, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, and a drizzle of the Bang Bang sauce.

          Garnish: Sprinkle chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro over each bowl. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
