step by step
Method
- Step 1
Season the chicken
- Place the chicken tenders in a bowl.
- Add the flour, salt and spices, then toss until evenly coated.
- Step 2
Make the dry mix and wet batter
- Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and the same spices in a bowl.
- Take a third of this dry mix and whisk it with the sparkling water until smooth to make the wet batter.
- Step 3
Coat the chicken
- Dip each tender in the wet batter, letting the excess drip off.
- Roll it in the remaining dry mix, pressing so the coating sticks.
- Step 4
Deep-fry the tenders
- Heat the oil to 175 °C.
- Fry the tenders in batches until golden and cooked through.
- Drain on a rack.
- Step 5
Make the sweet chili sauce
