Sweet and sour chicken strips are a beloved dish, loved for their crispy texture and tangy-sweet flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to make them at home.
Ingredients:
- 500g chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for deep-frying
- For the sauce: ½ cup sugar, ⅓ cup vinegar, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water.
Steps:
1. Prepare the chicken: Marinate chicken strips in salt and pepper for 15 minutes. Dredge each strip in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
2. Deep-fry: Heat oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry chicken strips until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
3. Make the sauce: In a pan, combine sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then add the cornstarch mixture. Stir until thickened.
4. Toss: Add the fried chicken strips to the sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Serve hot with steamed rice or a side of vegetables.
Tips: For extra crispiness, double-dredge the chicken in flour and breadcrumbs. Adjust the sauce’s sweetness or tanginess to your taste. Enjoy this homemade takeout favorite!
