Ingredients
- – 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- – 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- – salt and pepper to taste
- – 1/2 cup (60 g) all purpose flour
- – 1/2 cup (65 g) cornstarch
- – vegetable oil for frying
- – 3/4 cup (180 ml) sweet chili sauce
- – 1/3 cup (40 g) sliced green onions
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Combine the flour and cornstarch thoroughly and spread onto a flat dish or shallow bowl.
- Fill a deep pot with oil to about 3 inches deep and heat it until it reaches 350 degrees F.
- Submerge each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour-cornstarch blend. Continue this process for all chicken pieces.
- Cook 7-8 pieces of chicken at a time in the hot oil for around 5 minutes or until they turn a golden hue. Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
- Mix the fried chicken with the sweet chili sauce. Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve.
Notes
- Thoroughly coat each chicken piece in the egg and flour-cornstarch blend for a crispy texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the pot when frying to ensure even cooking and a golden brown color.
- Adjust the sweet chili sauce amount to your liking for a balanced flavor profile.
