Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  
  

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  
  

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  
  

• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  
  

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  
  

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  
  

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  
  

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
   
   

2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
   
   

3. In the same skillet, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
   
   

4. If desired, add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and cook until thickened.
   
   

5. Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
   
   

6. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
