Creating your Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is simple with these clear steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice or chosen grain according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Allow it to heat for a few moments.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5–7 minutes or until it is no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
5. Make Honey Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together honey, sriracha, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
6. Combine with Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey sauce over it in the skillet. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Add Vegetables (Optional): If you are using vegetables, add them to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3–4 minutes until they are cooked but still crisp.
8. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of rice or grains at the bottom. Top them with the hot honey chicken mixture.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and presentation.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Hot Honey Chicken Bowl while it’s still warm!
