Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • 3 Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Plastic wrap
  • Kitchen tray
  • Deep frying pot
  • Kitchen thermometer optional
  • Paper towels
  • Serving plates and bowls

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 1.5 lbs. boneless chicken breast
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying

For marinade

  • 4 tbsp. sambal oelek sauce
  • 4 tbsp. water
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce

For coating

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. salt
  • ½ tbsp. ground black pepper

For serving

  • 1 ½ cups chili sauce
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 2 tbsp. green leaves finely chopped for garnish
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the marinade in a mixing bowl large enough to hold the sliced chicken. Put the marinade ingredients into the bowl and mix well.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into one-inch cubes. Put them into the marinade bowl and ensure every piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the flour mixture in another mixing bowl, one large enough to hold the chicken bites. Put flour, salt and ground black pepper into the bowl and whisk it.
  • Pour the chicken bites into the flour bowl and make sure you coat every bite. You can do this in two or three batches for a better coating. Take the coated chicken pieces out on a tray.
  • Pour the oil into a deep-frying pot. Heat in a medium setting. When the oil starts forming tiny bubbles on the sides of the pot, it has reached its frying temperature. If you use a kitchen thermometer, when the oil temperature reaches 350 F., it is ready.
  • Fry the chicken bites until golden brown in 4-5 batches. Be careful not to overfill the frying pot.
  • Place a paper towel on a serving plate. Take the fried chicken pieces out and put them on the paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
  • Put the chicken bites on a serving plate. In a bowl, mix the chili sauce and honey well. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl/s. Garnish the chicken bites with chopped greens and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • We recommend sunflower or canola oil for frying.
 
  • You can roast the sesame seeds just before serving. This extra step will enhance the flavor and appeal to the eye with its golden color. Heat a nonstick pan without oil. When heated, toss the seeds and cook them until golden brown. It will take a minute or two. To ensure even roasting, shake the pan occasionally.
 
  • If you want to add extra volume to the crust, put ½ teaspoon of baking powder into the flour mixture.
