Creating your Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is just a few steps away with these easy-to-follow instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
2. Prepare Breading Station: Set up three bowls for breading. Fill the first bowl with cornstarch, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken first in cornstarch, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the flour mix. Ensure each piece is well covered.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the skillet. Fry them in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel. Immediately drizzle hot honey over the chicken while it’s still warm.
7. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary and sauté the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
8. Assemble the Bowl: Begin with a base of rice in each bowl. Top with the sautéed vegetables and pile on the hot honey chicken.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.

These clearly defined steps will guide you through the process, ensuring a successful and flavorful meal every time.
