# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Toss chicken cubes with oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper until coated. Heat air fryer to 200°C. Pop chicken in so it's in a single layer. Cook it for 11 to 12 minutes. Flip chicken halfway through. You want it golden and completely cooked inside (hit 74°C in the middle). Keep it warm under foil in a bowl.
02 -
Pour a tablespoon of sesame oil into a big pan. Turn the heat up high. Add the beaten eggs, sprinkle some salt, and gently scramble them until they're soft. Take eggs out and set aside.
03 -
Lower the heat a little, then add the rest of the sesame oil. Throw in the green onions, onions, and carrots. Stir everything around for about 5 minutes so the carrots turn soft. Now add the garlic, stir for another minute.
04 -
Drop in your cooled-down rice. Break up the clumps with a spoon. Mix it all up with the veggies. Stir it every so often for 2 to 3 minutes till the rice is warmed through.
05 -
Add the scrambled eggs, melted butter, peas, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Mix everything carefully. Let it get hot and come together for another 2 or 3 minutes.
06 -
Coat your cooked chicken in half of the Bang Bang sauce. Spoon the fried rice into bowls. Top with chicken. Drizzle the leftover sauce on top. Throw on some extra green onions if you like.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Let the rice cool for at least an hour for best results. This keeps it from turning sticky when you stir-fry.
