Easy Sweet Chili Chicken

1 Begin by cutting your chicken into equal bite-sized pieces and seasoning them with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
2 To a bowl, add the chicken pieces, egg and flour. Mix and massage the chicken pieces until coated with a batter.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. You'll want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and provide a shallow frying environment for the chicken. You can also make the chicken in the air fryer. (Read blog post for more details)
4 Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to fry the chicken in batches depending on the size of your pan.
5 Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip the chicken pieces halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.
6 Once the chicken is cooked through and crispy, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7 In a separate saucepan, combine the garlic, ginger, sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Heat the mixture over medium heat until warmed through.
8 Remove the pan from the heat and add the crispy fried chicken pieces. Toss until all the pieces are coated evenly with the sauce.
9 Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
