Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and chili flakes. Add the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  2. In a small bowl, combine coconut milk, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, sriracha, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy, then cover and chill.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until nicely charred and reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Prepare your rice according to package instructions, usually simmering in water until tender. Fluff with a fork once cooked.
  5. Divide the fluffy rice among serving bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle the chilled Coconut Lime Drizzle over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
