Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and rub the spices all over for an even coating. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

  3. Sear the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Create the Hot Honey Sauce: Remove the chicken and add butter and minced garlic to the pan, cooking until fragrant.
  5. Combine Honey and Hot Sauce: Add honey and hot sauce to the pan, stirring until combined.
  6. Glaze the Chicken: Return the chicken to the pan, coating it in the sauce and cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Prepare Your Rice Base: Ensure your rice is hot and ready to go.
  8. Slice and Prep Your Veggies: Slice the cucumbers, avocado, and green onions.
  9. Assemble the Bowls: Begin with a scoop of rice as your base, topped with glazed chicken and veggies.
  10. Finish It Off: Garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, lime wedges, and sriracha mayo.
