  • 1/2 cup Organic Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp white or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 small garlic glove (grated)
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili Pepper Flakes

Chicken

  • 3/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder (Frontier)
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika (Frontier)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt (Frontier)
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper (Frontier)
  • 1 tbsp Hot sauce
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 4 Chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut into strips
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce:
    In a small sauce pan, add maple syrup, water, vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, salt, red pepper chili flakes and whisk until combined.
    Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
    Transfer to a glass jar to store.
  • Sauce:
    Combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small mixing bowl.
    Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Chicken:
    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
    To the same bowl, add the hot sauce, egg, and buttermilk.
    Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
    Toss the chicken strips in the batter and set them aside.
    In a separate mixing bowl, add the panko.
    Hear about the 1/2 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium- high heat on the stove top, monitoring the oil temperature carefully to ensure it stays around 350 degrees F.
    Place the battered chicken strips in the breadcrumbs one at a time until well coated.
    Place in the oil and fry on both sides until crispy and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
    Place the fried chicken on a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture.
    Repeat until you have fried all the chicken pieces. Don't fry the chicken in too big of batches, as that will decrease the oil temperature.
    Drizzle the sauce over the fried chicken and serve with extra sauce for dipping.
