Chili Garlic Chicken

The first time I made this chicken I used Sriracha which made it so spicy I couldn’t eat it so be sure you use the correct amount of sauce depending on how spicy you want the dish to be.  These little bite sized pieces of fried chicken coated in a chili garlic sauce are really delicious as is or served over some rice.  

Marinate, then fry the pieces of chicken breast.

Coat the fried chicken with chili garlic sauce.

Chicken
3 boneless chicken fillets, cut into bite sized pieces
1 egg, beaten

1/2 tsp fennel seeds (sonf)
1/2 cup of the white part of green onions
