  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425?F (220?C).
  2. On a large baking sheet, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Season with black pepper. Sprinkle cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) over the chicken and lightly toss. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken bakes, whisk together ? cup of tamari, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, honey, chili paste, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
  4. After the chicken has baked for 30 minutes, pour two-thirds of the sauce over it and toss to coat. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until cooked through. Switch the oven to broil for the final 1-2 minutes to char the edges of the chicken. If desired, drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken once it?s done.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste with more cayenne or salt.
  6. To serve, place cooked rice in bowls and top with the sliced chicken, cucumber, avocado, kimchi, and fried wontons. Spoon the yum yum sauce over everything, and enjoy!
