Essential Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour For crispy coating
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adds subtle kick
- 2 large eggs Beaten, helps breadcrumbs stick
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Provides extra crunch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil For frying
Marinate the chicken pieces in a bowl with a splash of soy sauce and a pinch of garlic powder for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the sauce by combining sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and ginger powder in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm.
Dredge marinated chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Toss the cooked chicken in the warm sauce to coat evenly. Serve garnished with chopped green onions.
