bojangles chicken rice bowl recipe

Bojangles Chicken Rice Bowl Recipe

This chicken rice bowl brings together crispy, seasoned chicken and buttery rice, just like Bojangles!
Marinating the chicken in buttermilk makes it tender while also helping the seasoned coating stick better.
The rice needs to be cooked separately and then tossed with a little butter and seasoning for that Bojangles-style taste.
A few dashes of hot sauce mixed into the chicken batter give it just the right kick.
Adding a drizzle of creamy ranch or a scoop of coleslaw on top brings everything together!
