# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set the oven to 220°C and allow it to fully preheat.
02 -
On a large baking sheet, toss chicken with 1 tablespoon tamari and 1 tablespoon orange juice. Season with black pepper. Sprinkle cornstarch or arrowroot powder over the chicken and gently toss to coat. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes.
03 -
In a bowl, whisk together 80 ml tamari, 30 ml orange juice, honey, chili paste, chopped garlic, and chopped ginger until combined.
04 -
After 15 minutes of baking, remove the chicken and pour two-thirds of the prepared sauce over it. Toss to coat and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. For a charred finish, broil for 1–2 additional minutes. Drizzle remaining sauce over cooked chicken if desired.
05 -
In a small bowl, combine olive oil mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Divide cooked rice between serving bowls. Arrange sliced chicken, cucumber, avocado, kimchi, and fried wontons over rice. Spoon yum yum sauce over assembled ingredients before serving.
# Additional Notes:

For best results, slice the chicken against the grain after baking for enhanced tenderness.
