Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 500g chicken breast
• 1 cup flour
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups bread crumbs

How To Make Thai Chicken Bites

1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Make sure they are uniformly sized so they cook evenly.
2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and set aside. In separate bowls, place the flour and breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge the chicken pieces in flour, dunk them in the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs. They should now be ready for frying.
4. Heat oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer. When it’s heated, drop in the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown. Remove from oil and allow to cool on some paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
5. While the chicken is cooling, you can prep your sweet and spicy Thai sauce. Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat.
6. Toss the fried chicken bites in the sauce, ensuring all the pieces are coated well. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Thai Chicken Bites!

Tips For The Best Results

• Marinate your chicken for at least an hour before frying for extra flavour.
• Make sure your oil is hot before adding the chicken. It should sizzle immediately upon contact.

Storage Tips

• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should keep for 3-4 days.
• For longer storage, you can freeze the chicken bites. Just thaw and reheat when ready to eat.
