For the Chicken:

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon + ⅓ cup tamari or soy sauce (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Spicy Honey-Ginger Sauce:

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2–3 tablespoons chili paste (adjust for spice level)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

For Serving:

  • 3–4 cups cooked rice
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Sliced avocado
  • Kimchi
  • Crispy 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 oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare & Bake the Chicken
    On a large baking sheet, toss chicken with 1 tablespoon tamari + 1 tablespoon orange juice.
    Season with black pepper and sprinkle cornstarch over the chicken, lightly tossing to coat.
    Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Make the Sauce
    While the chicken bakes, whisk together:

    • ⅓ cup tamari
    • 2 tablespoons orange juice
    • Honey
    • Chili paste
    • Garlic & ginger
  • Glaze & Broil the Chicken
    After 15 minutes, pour two-thirds of the sauce over the chicken, tossing to coat.
    Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until fully cooked.
    Broil for 1-2 minutes to char the edges for extra flavor.
    Drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken once done (optional).
  • Make the Yum Yum Sauce
    In a small bowl, mix together:

    • Mayo
    • Ketchup
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Seasoned salt
    • Cayenne pepper
  • Assemble the Bowls
    Divide cooked rice into bowls.
    Top with Spicy Honey-Ginger Chicken, sliced cucumbers, avocado, and kimchi.
    Add crispy fried wontons for crunch.
    Drizzle with Yum Yum Sauce and enjoy!

Notes

 

  • Swap proteins! Try shrimp, tofu, or beef instead of chicken.
  • Make it milder! Reduce chili paste or add extra honey for a sweeter flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days—perfect for meal prep!
