Ingredients

Scale

For the Crispy Chicken

  • 450 g chicken breast, cut into thin strips

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons corn flour

  • 1 egg white

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Oil, for frying

For the Spicy Dragon Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • ½ cup ketchup

  • ½ cup chili ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

  • ½ cup chicken stock

  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken coating:
    In a bowl, add chicken strips, egg white, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well coated.

  • Create the crispy batter:
    Sprinkle in all-purpose flour and corn flour. Toss gently until each strip is evenly coated. The mixture should look slightly sticky.

  • Fry the chicken:
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

  • Make the sauce:
    In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add onions and bell peppers; cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

  • Build the flavor:
    Stir in ketchup, chili ketchup, sriracha, and chicken stock. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and slightly thick.

  • Combine & finish:
    Add fried chicken to the sauce and toss until fully coated. Cook for 2 more minutes so everything absorbs that spicy goodness .

  • Garnish & serve:
    Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
