How to Prepare

To make your own Crispy Shredded Sriracha Chicken, you shall:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, add the chicken and all the marinade ingredients. Set aside for 30 minutes. This step ensures the chicken absorbs all the flavors, making it juicy and flavorful.

Step 2: Prepare for Frying

Heat the oil in a pan for shallow frying. The oil should reach about 3cm in thickness in your chosen pan to give it enough depth for frying. This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and becomes crispy.

Step 3: Stir with Egg White

Add the egg white into the chicken mixture and stir well.

Step 4: Coat and Fry the Chicken

Combine the plain flour and cornstarch in a shallow rimmed plate and mix well. Coat the chicken on all sides with the flour mixture and deep fry in hot oil for 5mins. Repeat this process until all the chicken is fried once. To make the chicken pieces extra crispy, let it cool for 15minutes and then deep fry for a further 1-2 minutes.

Step 5: Prepare the Sauce

In a bowl, mix the Sriracha sauce, tomato ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch mixture. Set aside. This sauce is the heart of the dish, providing a perfect balance of heat and sweetness.

Step 6: Cook the Sauce

Place a small pot on the stove on medium heat.  Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the chopped garlic. Stir for 30seconds, not letting the garlic go brown and pour in the mixed sauce prepared in step 5. As it heats up, it will thicken. Turn off the heat.

Step 7: Mix, Garnish and Serve

Mix the deep fried chicken into the sauce so that all pieces are nicely coated.  Serve with some jasmine rice garnished with roasted white sesame seeds, chopped scallion and red chillies.
