Zesty Thai Chicken Nibbles (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 big chicken breast without skin or bones
02 -
1/2 cup plain flour
03 -
1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic
04 -
Salt as needed
05 -
Ground black pepper as needed
06 -
1 big egg
07 -
2 tablespoons dairy milk
08 -
Enough peanut or canola oil for deep frying
09 -
1/3 cup spicy sweet chili sauce
10 -
1 shredded carrot for topping
11 -
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for topping
12 -
A sprinkle of sesame seeds for topping
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Fill your skillet with oil about 1-2 inches deep. Warm it on medium until it hits 350°F. Chop your chicken breast into small chunks. Put them aside.
02 -
Mix your flour with powdered garlic, some salt, and pepper in a flat dish. In another dish, beat the egg with milk, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken chunk in the flour mix first, then the egg stuff, then back in the flour.
03 -
Drop your coated chicken bits into the hot oil carefully. Let them cook till they're golden on each side, roughly 3-4 minutes per side. Take them out and let them drain on some paper towels. Sprinkle a tiny bit of salt on top.
04 -
Put the fried chicken in a big bowl and mix it with the sweet chili sauce. Top with some sesame seeds, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro. It's best when it's still warm.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Want your chicken super crunchy? Try coating it twice - go from flour to egg to flour again before you start frying.
02 -
Your oil needs to be exactly 350°F to get that perfect crunch. A kitchen thermometer will make sure you get it right.
