Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust for spice preference
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  2. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  6. Toss the crispy chicken in the sauce mixture until well coated.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, consider double-breading the chicken by dipping it back into the egg and then the panko a second time before frying.
  • For a healthier version, bake the breaded chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, instead of frying.
