Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 18

Sauce-
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Chicken Strips-
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 boneless skinless chicken breast (sliced into strips)
1/3 cup butter milk
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
chopped green onions
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • To prepare the sauce-in a medium saucepan combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweet chili sauce, oil, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Dip each chicken strip first into the buttermilk and then roll in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Place chicken strips into the hot oil, a few at a time and deep fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees). Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately toss the chicken strips with the sauce. Garnish chicken strips with green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • To make sure your chicken strips are evenly cooked, cut them into uniform sizes before dredging and frying.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken strips in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make the chili sauce, use a variety of chili peppers to create a complex flavor. You can also adjust the amount of chili peppers to suit your desired level of spiciness.
  • Serve the chili chicken strips with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
