Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce or Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 pound about 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite size pieces
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- oil for frying such as avocado or canola
Instructions
- Whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and vinegar. Place chicken in a container and pour sauce over the top and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Set up an assembly line. Place flour on one plate. Whisk together egg and milk in a bowl. Combine panko, plain bread crumbs, salt and granulated garlic on another plate.
- Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Dredge pieces in flour, dip in egg/milk wash and then dredge in bread crumbs. Repeat until all chicken pieces are coated.
- Heat a 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop a couple bread crumbs in oil and if they sizzle it's ready. Fry chicken, in batches about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all chicken is fried. Serve immediately.
