Sweet and sour chicken strips are a beloved dish, loved for their crispy coating and tangy, flavorful sauce. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- Oil for deep-frying
- For the sauce: ½ cup ketchup, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water.
Steps:
1. Marinate the chicken: Pat the chicken strips dry, season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
2. Prepare the coating: Dip each strip into the beaten egg, then coat with flour, dip again in egg, and finally cover with breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.
3. Deep-fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4. Make the sauce: In a pan, mix ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then add the cornstarch mixture. Stir until thickened.
5. Combine: Toss the crispy chicken strips in the sauce until evenly coated. Serve hot with steamed rice or a side of veggies.
