sweet chili sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade chili sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + chili paste

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar, while the ketchup mix is budget-friendly.

In a mixing bowl, add flour, ¼ cup of cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, ground sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Whisk until the ingredients are well blended.

Transfer the flour mixture to a shallow container.

In another shallow container, add 2 large eggs and some milk, then beat until combined.

Dredge the chicken pieces, cut into bite-sized pieces, by coating them well with the flour mixture.

Shake off any excess flour by hand or using a slotted spoon, then dip them in the egg mixture and toss until well coated.

Return the chicken pieces back to the flour to dredge them a second time for extra crispiness.

In a skillet over medium high heat, add oil and heat until it reaches 375ºF/190ºC.

Working in batches, carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet.

Fry the chicken until nicely brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping them a couple of times.

Using a spider strainer, scoop the pieces and transfer them to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Let the fried chicken sit while frying the remaining pieces.

After all the chicken is fried, pour Sweet Chili Sauce over the chicken and stir until well coated.

Sprinkle on sesame seeds and stir until evenly distributed.

Before serving, sprinkle on sliced green onions.
