Method
 

  1. To make the Bang Bang Sauce, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, honey, and Sriracha in a medium bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
  2. For the chicken, combine vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat.
  3. Place the coated chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
  4. Add ½ cup of the Bang Bang sauce to the cooked chicken in a large bowl and toss to coat.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide 1 cup of warmed rice among 4 medium bowls. Add ½ cup of sliced red cabbage, ¼ cup of julienned carrots, and ¼ cup of sliced cucumbers to each bowl. Top with equal portions of sliced avocado and the sauced chicken.
  6. Garnish each bowl with the remaining Bang Bang sauce, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
