Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 60 g Cornstarch
- 60 g All-purpose flour
- 30 ml Soy sauce
- 1 large Egg
- 10 ml Sesame oil
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Ginger powder
- 5 g Salt
- 2 g Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 60 ml Hoisin sauce
- 15 ml Rice vinegar
- 15 ml Honey
- 3 g Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, mix well, and set aside for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk the egg. In a separate shallow dish, mix the cornstarch and flour together.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok to 180°C (350°F).
Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the whisked egg, then dredge it in the cornstarch-flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
To prepare the dipping sauce, mix together the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
Slice the green onions into thin rounds for garnish.
Serve the crispy chicken bites hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.
