Instructions
Creating Sweet and Sour Chicken Bites can be simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, ensuring even coating.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken in flour, followed by the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs thoroughly.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large pan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.
5. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the pan and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
7. Add Sauce: In a separate bowl, toss the fried chicken bites with sweet and sour sauce until evenly coated.
8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm.
These steps ensure you create crispy, flavorful bites that everyone will love.
