- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) paprika
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and Sriracha until well blended. Set this mixture aside.
- In a larger bowl, combine vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the mixture, gently mixing to ensure each piece is coated.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of the air fryer, you might need to cook in multiple batches.
- Cook in the air fryer at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl and add ½ cup of the prepared sauce, tossing to ensure the chicken is covered.
- To serve, take 4 medium bowls and distribute 1 cup of rice, ½ cup of cabbage, ¼ cup of carrots, and ¼ cup of cucumbers into each. Add equal portions of sliced avocado and the coated chicken to each bowl.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce over each bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve without delay.
Notes
- Adjust the Sriracha amount to your liking for a spicier sauce.
- Marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture before air frying for added flavor.
- Customize your bowl toppings with preferred vegetables or herbs for a personal touch.
