Method
13 steps- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
- For the pickles, combine the vinegar, ¼ cup water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
- Place the sliced carrot and cucumber in a heatproof container. Pour over the hot pickling liquid, cover and refrigerate until cool.
- Combine the rice, 500 ml water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook the rice for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, leave it covered for 4 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Make the Bang Bang sauce by mixing the low-fat mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, sriracha mayonnaise, lime zest and lime juice.
- Divide the sauce evenly between two bowls. Reserve one bowl for serving.
- Toss the chicken with the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chilli powder and salt. Thread it onto the soaked skewers.
- Brush the chicken with half of the sauce intended for cooking.
- Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 8 minutes.
- Turn the chicken, brush it with the remaining cooking sauce and air fry for another 6–8 minutes, until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skewers and divide the rice, chicken, pickled vegetables and avocado between five containers.
- Finish with the reserved uncooked sauce, coriander, sesame seeds and lime wedges.
