Chicken Waffle Bites With Thai Sweet Chili Sauce Food

CHICKEN WAFFLE BITES WITH THAI SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl blend flour, salt and pepper. In another small bowl, whisk the egg. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a medium skillet on medium-high heat. Dredge the cubed raw chicken in the flour, dip in the egg then again in the flour before placing in the hot skillet. Cook for 16 minutes and flip halfway. Remove fried chicken, setting aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, place dry waffle ingredients followed by the remaining wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly with a whisk. On a hot waffle griddle, pour 1 tbsp of waffle batter for each waffle. Continue until you have cooked all 24 until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a small saucepan, place all thai sauce ingredients, whisking to a boil before reducing to a simmer for 10 minutes. Pour sauce into a mason jar and set aside for assembly.
• To assemble, layer in order: a small amount of coleslaw, a cube of cooked chicken, drizzle thai sauce over each waffle bite and sprinkle a few slivers of green onion and a small amount of sesame seeds to top it off.

CHICKEN WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and garlic. Pour 1/2 cup (half the mixture) into a small plastic food storage zip bag. Add chicken and turn to coat; refrigerate and marinade 30 minutes.
• To a skillet, add a tablespoon or two of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and brown on one side for about 2-3 minutes (it may smoke a little from the sweet marinade). Turn the chicken over and brown for 2 minutes longer. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and let it finish cooking for about 8 minutes.
• Place remaining chili sauce and soy sauce mixture in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve over chicken.
