Thai Chicken Bites are crispy, flavorful, and packed with savory, sweet, and tangy Thai-inspired flavors. Coated twice for extra crispiness and fried to golden perfection, these bite-sized chicken pieces are tossed in a sweet chili sauce and garnished with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and julienned carrots. Perfect as an appetizer or main dish, this quick and easy recipe delivers a burst of flavor with every bite.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Canola oil or peanut oil for frying

For the Sauce and Garnish:

  • 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 carrot, julienned (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oil: Pour 1-2 inches of oil into a deep skillet. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Coat the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk together egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Coat each piece of chicken in the dry flour mixture, dip into the egg mixture, and then coat again in the flour mixture.
  • Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Toss with Sauce: Transfer the fried chicken to a bowl and toss with sweet chili sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, julienned carrots, and chopped cilantro. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Double Coating: For extra crispiness, double coat the chicken by dipping it in the flour mixture, egg mixture, and flour mixture again.
  • Different Sauces: Swap out the sweet chili sauce for peanut sauce or hoisin sauce for a different twist.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare and coat the chicken ahead of time and store it in the fridge before frying.
