Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 large Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tbsp Milk
For Frying and Garnish:
- Canola oil or peanut oil, for frying
- 1/3 cup Sweet chili sauce
- 1 carrot, Julienned (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Cut: Pour 1-2 inches of oil into a deep skillet. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Coat the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together egg, milk, salt, and black pepper. Coat each piece of chicken first in the dry flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and back in the flour mixture.
- Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with a bit of salt.
- Toss and Serve: Transfer the fried chicken to a large bowl and toss with sweet chili sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to ensure a crispy exterior.
- You can adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
