Bang Bang Chicken, a dish beloved for its unique texture and flavor. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with a spicy and delicious sauce that leaves one wanting more. This dish is not only perfect as an appetizer but also a great accompaniment to rice, adding a burst of flavor to any meal.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken strips in a bowl, add a dash of light soy sauce, salt, and minced garlic. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Coating: Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Dip the marinated chicken strips first in cornstarch, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs.

3. Fry the Chicken: Pour enough cooking oil into a pan and heat to medium-high. Fry the coated chicken strips until golden and crispy, then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chili oil, and sesame seeds according to your preference.

5. Toss the Chicken in Sauce: Place the fried chicken strips in a large bowl and pour the prepared sauce over them. Gently toss to coat each piece evenly.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Bang Bang Chicken to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• Don't cut the chicken strips too thin, as they may break easily during frying.

• Maintain a moderate oil temperature to avoid overcooking the outside while leaving the inside raw.

• Adjust the sauce to your liking; for a spicier version, add more chili oil.
