Asian Chili Chicken Bites



Whenever we go to Earls or Joey's Restaurant my Husband orders this appetizer. (Chili Chicken or Asian Crispy Chicken). I did some searching on the internet and tried this version and it is very close. 


Yield: 3-4 servings
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts {boneless & skinless}
1 cup all purpose flour
1  teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
2 eggs
3  tablespoons milk
canola or peanut oil for frying
½  cup sweet chili sauce
sliced green onions or carrots, for garnish

Directions:
Pour 1-2 inches of oil into a deep skillet. Preheat over medium heat.
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and set aside. In a shallow dish, stir together flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk egg, milk, salt and pepper together. Toss chicken pieces into dry mixture first, then into the egg mixture and back to the dry. Make sure you coat the chicken completely during each step! Place chicken pieces into hot oil and fry until golden brown on each side. (About 3-4 minutes per side.) Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with sweet chili sauce. Top with sliced green onions.
