Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 large egg

• 2 tablespoons milk

• Canola or peanut oil, for frying

• ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce

• 1 carrot, julienned (for garnish)

• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

 Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

2. Heat the Oil: Pour 1–2 inches of oil into a deep skillet and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

3. Coat the Chicken:

   • In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

   • In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and black pepper.

   • Dip each piece of chicken first into the dry flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

4. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.

5. Drain and Toss: Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken pieces with the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated.

6. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the sauced chicken bites to a serving dish and garnish with julienned carrots, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
