If you’d told me five years ago I’d be raving to anyone who’d listen about a “Bang Bang Chicken Bowl,” I’d have rolled my eyes and microwaved instant noodles for dinner again. But here we are! I stumbled into this recipe after a total kitchen fail (let’s not talk about the time I confused sugar …
So, You Want Chicken That Melts in Your Mouth? Okay, friend, gather round! Every time I make this, someone inevitably demands the recipe before we’ve even cleared our plates.
