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!
