Ingredients
- 500 g chicken thighs Cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
For the Chilli Sauce:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic Minced
- 2 tsp ginger Minced
- 3 tbsp chilli sauce
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp cornflour Mixed with 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Toss the chicken pieces in the cornflour mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
- In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Mix the cornflour-water mixture into the sauce to thicken it further. Stir well until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Add the crispy chicken pieces to the sauce and toss them until they are coated evenly.
- Serve your Crispy Chilli Chicken hot, garnished with some chopped spring onions or sesame seeds if desired.
