Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you boil the sauce too long, too much moisture evaporates, making it overly thick and cloudy. Heat only until the sugar dissolves for a glossy finish.
  • When frying a second batch immediately after the first, the oil is already extremely hot. To avoid burning the outside while leaving the inside raw, turn off the heat to cool the oil or carefully adjust heating time.
  • Placing green lettuce under the finished red chili chicken creates a beautiful plating effect reminiscent of Chinese premium dishes.

Recommended for

  • Those who love sweet, sour, and mildly spicy Chinese-style chili shrimp flavored chicken.
  • Home bartenders who want to make a sophisticated, high-end homemade late-night snack to pair with beer.
  • Those who enjoy the combination of crispy fried batter and juicy, tender boneless chicken thigh.
