Ingredients
Method
Marinating Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
Coating Chicken
- In a separate bowl, place the cornstarch and season it with salt and pepper. Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Cooking Chicken
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken in a single layer until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed, then drain on paper towels.
Making the Glaze
- In the same pan, add the remaining marinade and simmer until it thickens into a glaze. Return the fried chicken to the pan and toss to coat with the glaze for about 2-3 minutes.
Serving
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice or noodles.
Notes
Allow the Sweet Chili Chicken to cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container. It's best enjoyed fresh but can last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
