# Ingredients:
01 -
1 large boneless skinless chicken breast
02 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
Salt and black pepper to taste
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
2 tablespoons milk
07 -
Canola oil or peanut oil for frying
08 -
1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
09 -
1 carrot, julienned (for garnish)
10 -
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
11 -
Sesame seeds for garnish
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
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.
02 -
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.
03 -
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.
04 -
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.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Double coat the chicken for extra crispiness by repeating the coating process before frying.
02 -
Ensure the oil is at 350°F for crispy chicken. Use a thermometer to check the temperature for best results.
