Chilli Crisp Chicken

If you love bold, fiery flavors that are quick to make, this Chilli Crisp Chicken is a must-try. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a sticky, spicy, umami-rich sauce, it is a dish that hits all the right notes. I love how simple ingredients come together to make something that feels restaurant-worthy but is perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Equipment

  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts I used 1 large breast cut lengthways through the middle, you could also use two thighs
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chilli crisp
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tablespoon butter

To serve

  • Basmati rice or rice of preference. I choose microwave for ease
  • 2 eggs fried
  • ½ cucumber sliced
  • 2 spring onions chopped
  • Small handful coriander chopped

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your toppings and cook your rice at this point if you are not using microwave rice then start by seasoning your chicken pieces with the cornflour and spices, rubbing until coated. I like to fry the eggs if using at the same time as cooking the chicken in another pan.
    2 chicken breasts, 1 tablespoon cornflour, ½ teaspoon garlic granules, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice, Salt and pepper, Basmati rice, ½ cucumber, 2 spring onions, Small handful coriander, 2 eggs
  • Head the oil in a small or medium pan over medium-high and add the chicken, fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden then turn the heat to medium- low and add the chilli crisp over the top along with soy sauce and honey.
    1 tablespoon chilli crisp, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey
  • Add the butter and let melt then baste it over the chicken with any other sauces left in the pan
    ½ tablespoon butter
  • Slice the chicken and serve on top of rice with cucumber slices and a fried egg topped with coriander and spring onions
