How to make Sweet Chili Chicken
Step 1: Combine the frying batter ingredients until well mixed. Then, add the chicken.
Step 2: Pour in about 2 inches of oil in a wok/skillet. Once the oil is completely heated, add the chicken to the wok/skillet and deep-fry until golden brown. To a paper towel-lined dish, transfer the chicken when done.
Step 3: Clean the wok/skillet and return to medium heat. Drizzle with oil. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Return the fried chicken to the wok. Then, add the sweet chili sauce, and lime juice, and season with salt. Stir well, making sure the chicken is evenly coated in the sauce.
Step 4: Serve the sweet chili chicken immediately, garnished with some white sesame and cilantro leaves. Enjoy!
