I made this dish as an entrée for a party a few years ago, but then almost forgot about it. Needless to say, it was a real hit among my guests especially kids. But I omitted the sauce as I wasn’t sure whether my guests will like it or not.
I came across this recipe again while searching for a finger food recipe, and decided to give it a go once more, this time with the sauce. And the good news - both fried chicken and sauce tastes DELICIOUS!!!!

Servings
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken breast or thigh fillet cut into medium-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoon tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- ½ cup water
- 3 cups oil
For Batter
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 whole egg beaten
- 1 and ½ cups plain flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- Water
- A pinch of salt
For Sauce
- 2 tablespoon cornflour
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Add chicken pieces along with tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, garlic paste, ginger paste, ground pepper, and water into a deep pan. Place it on the stove, cover with a lid, and let it come to a boil. Then turn down the heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is half-cooked. Check the seasoning, and add more salt if needed. Now you can remove chicken from the gravy and leave it to cool.
- Meanwhile mix cornflour and water together, and add it to the chicken gravy. Simmer until it thickens. Your sauce is ready.
- Now make a smooth batter using the ingredients listed under “ingredients for batter”. Heat oil in a deep pan over high heat. (You can use a deep fryer instead). Dip the chicken pieces first in batter, and then roll in breadcrumbs. Deep fry until it turns golden brown in colour.
- Alternatively, you can bake these in the oven at 200 C / 400 F for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve chicken with sauce and French fries.
