Instructions

1-Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

4-Marinate the chicken with 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, 1 tablespoon tamari or regular soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.

5-Arrange the chicken on the baking tray without overlapping to allow caramelization.

6-Brush the reserved one-quarter of bang bang sauce on top of the chicken pieces.

7-Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

8-Serve with steamed rice, 1 cup shredded red cabbage, 2 carrots (grated or julienned), 1 cucumber (sliced), drizzle the remaining bang bang sauce, and sprinkle with 1 spring onion (finely sliced).
